They approach early warning signs with professionalism and this largely accounts for the peaceful atmosphere in the district over the years”.

The contractor is being asked to come and connect power for the next steps and that has become very difficult to surmount. (d) Office Accommodation of the District Assembly is practically completed and waiting for some defects to be corrected. Furnishing is also required”. He explained

The Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu expressed excitement for the work done so far in the Tempane District as he assured the district that government will continue to do its part as far as supporting assembly projects are concerned.
