His words :” The project forms part of my deliberate effort to address infrastructure deficits across the senatorial district, add value to rural communities, and improve the living standards of his constituents.

“Access roads remain critical to economic growth, particularly for agrarian communities that depend on efficient transportation to move farm produce to markets,” he stated.

The senator assured residents that the Mkpani Ring Road was only one of several projects lined up to drive growth and transform communities across the district.
