As a true grassroots administrator, the council boss has demonstrated his support for inclusiveness as he ensured that the Community Development Committee, marketers, artisans and the youth are integral part of his government.
According to the Chairman, education, youth empowerment and training will top the priority of the administration this year saying “What the residents witnessed in our first five months in office is just a tip of the iceberg. Our best is yet to come as we are not ready to relent on the good work we have started.”

As if that was not enough, on education, the council helmsman has declared a state of emergency on education as he decried the deplorable state of the public schools in the local government. As a way of ensuring the schools get adequate attention, he has asked for first-hand information and assessment of the schools. To start, He had given over 400 free GCE forms to indigent residents of the council.
