Having met and flagged off with the people of Amatta , he equally met with Orji people who equally have interest in the land being used for the layout and did the needful.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner enjoined the people to appreciate the efforts of Governor Hope Uzodimma who is doing everything possible to make life meaningful for the people of the state. He assured that government will do her best to see that the communities that donated their lands will have reasons to laugh at the end of the day.
