“For me, to build is one thing, and to manage is another thing. But I have confidence in what i have seen, and the policies I have seen that this will be well managed for years to come.”

He expressed satisfaction at the level of completion of the facility, and commended the contractor, U&K Integrated Service Limited, for the quality and timely completion of the Job.

The State Chief Executive described the project as a strategic realization of the State’s vision to pamper Elderly Citizens through creation of special centres to provide care for them in the State.

He, therefore, invited everyone to come out en masse for the commissioning of the centre, as well as the Women’s Day celebration tomorrow at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium where the First Lady will be the special guest.
