Professor Daramola noted that the Federal Government’s projects across the country had demonstrated the sincerity of President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration towards enthroning justice, equity and fairness in the nation.

The Permanent Secretary Ecological Fund office Abuja, Dr. Habiba Lawal, noted that the project would go a long way to ensure the safety of lives and property of the people.

Some residents of the community commended the Federal Government for coming to their aid.
