Comrade Izeze charged the contractor to deliver the project within the stipulated timeframe, emphasizing the government's commitment to quality, timely completion, and accountability.

To enhance coordination and effective communication throughout the project, he announced the appointment of a Special Project Coordinator and community liaison representatives who will serve as the link between the government, the contractor, and the host communities.
