We’ll also be rolling out e-billing this year, that will assist us in reaching more places.” “We have decided to remain focused on our 4-point Agenda (H.E.Y.S) in order to achieve our projected sustainable development. The key compost the H.E.Y.S agenda represents Health, Education, Youth & Women Empowerment and Social Infrastructure. This is also expected to form the basis for assessing the current administration.”
Odunmbaku while concluding his speech praises the management and staff of the council for their support. “I thank you all for your support, I’m a big fan of training, so training and retraining of our staff is also my responsibility, this will allow us to get new ideas and technology,” he said.
