In fact, I have one or two projects to my credit in every ward of my constituency. I sunk motorized boreholes, facilitated many employment for my people, I also facilitated the construction and renovation of both primary and secondary schools in my constituency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAside from all these, I organized skills acquisition programmes for youth and women where many of them have graduated and empowered with start-up equipment and cash to kick start the trade. All of these had placed me ahead of those who represented the constituency at the state house of assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8080026755787218\" \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><script><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlso my position as speaker has greatly assisted me to do more for my people.
