At the Edo College flood and gully site, a resident while welcoming the team to the site gave kudos to the NEWMAP for doing a thorough job. Like Oliver Twist he used the opportunity to ask for more by soliciting the government to also focus on the road leading to the area.

In his response, Hon. Onobun thanked the resident while also commending him for his responsive nature to details. He appealed to the residents to always pray for the state government to have the funds to do more.

He challenged the residents to always take cognizance of the huge amount of money that the government is investing in turning around the state for the better adding that they should take it as their duty to always ensure that the projects are well taken care of.
