“I also commend the firm that handled the fencing of Community Secondary School, Igbariam for completing his task as well as the quality of work amidst unavailability of funds from government,” he added.
He called on the executive arm of government to consider releasing fund for the Contractor handling the fencing of Community Secondary School, Igbariam to ensure project execution as specified.
