This is great news, i have always maintained that i believe in actions and not rhetoric as we have witnessed in the past. I can gladly say even one of the highest critics of Governor S Dickson ( a friend of mine) confided in me that this government has done creditably well to warrant having faith in their agenda. he cited the various road networks he traversed within Yenagoa alone as a testimony to the improvement.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Matilda, kudos on the job well done, we know you face challenges and we may disagree on some points but you have stood your ground and have shown resilience in your job.
Good job sir. Pls do more
ReplyDeleteThank You Dpoet. For Recognising the efforts of this administration. Appreciation always makes one strive to do more. We are still open to constructive criticisms from genuine critics like you guys.
ReplyDeleteCompared to the huge allocation that we receive every Month, this Government has not done well. Many of those projects are camouflage.
