Handing over the project sites to the contractors on behalf of the Managing Director, the Benue State Coordinator of N-HYPPADEC, Mr. Lee Ahenjir, said the construction of the blocks of classrooms and solar-powered boreholes would significantly improve access to quality education and potable water for residents of the community.

In his remarks, the community Chief, Alhaji Abubakar Idris, commended N-HYPPADEC for fulfilling its promise to the area. He pledged the community's full support and cooperation to ensure the successful execution and timely completion of the projects.
