“The road, streetlight projects, primary healthcare centres, school projects, construction of agricultural training centres, sports and recreational centers among others are facilitated by our leader and Speaker. These are indeed true reflections of dividends of democracy.
“We are happy that such feats were accomplished and we urge the people to judiciously put them to use. Our people want their roads free of potholes.

The council boss promised the constituents to embark on major infrastructural projects across various communities in the district.

I therefore want to appeal to all residents to bear with us for any inconvenience they might experience during the first phase of the projects which is scheduled to commence in eight communities in the Surulere constituency.
The commencement of the second phase of the projects will be updated in due course as contractors have been mobilised to site for the commencement of the first phase of the projects” he said.
