Adeaga said history will never forget the state governor, Seyi Makinde, who approved funds for the projects, which will add positive values to the lives of residents of the benefiting communities.

In its characteristic approach, he maintained that the agency makes lists of beneficiaries from each community as directed by the World Bank to ascertain the project’s impacts on the people upon delivery.

He appreciated families that donated lands for community healthcare centres and the CPMC members for standing strong to ensure the timely completion of works on project sites.
