" My administration is set to build people- oriented projects that will benefit  our people.

" This is a modern market that has an abattoir,  over 86 open shops and 10 lock up shops ", Ehiwarior added.

He added, "We are currently handling projects like the 1 kilometer, 15 meters span Abude Street  project with both sides drains, building of a  fruits stand in Edike Street Junction to give the Edike Market an urban look, renovation of Alifekede Daily Market with toilet facilities and a borehole,  a bridge project that links Edike Market and Okoh Street, among many other projects.

" We are looking up to the commissioning of these projects towards the celebration of our 100 days in office " he declared.

The Ika South LG Boss expressed gratitude to the leaders and members of Alihame Community for the donation of land in the heart of the community that is accessible and suitable for the market project.

He disclosed that his administration was open for constructive criticisms "because, in the long run, those critics will also be building blocks for advanced development".

He, therefore, called on the people of Ika South to continue to support his administration as he was poised to take the local government to an enviable height of development.
