“The solar street lights will improve security and economic activities within the community at night and we can’t thank the NDDC and our illustrious son, Chief Emmanuel Okpomo enough.
“I also on behalf of our dear community, appreciate our House of Representatives member, Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko for attracting hospital equipments to Ivrogbo-Emevor health centre and presentation of fertilisers to our farmers.”
