He commended the community for presenting its concerns in an organised manner.

Also, during the visit, the delegation paid a condolence visit to Abubakar Baninge, the corporation’s Strategic Business Unit Manager in Ningi, who lost his father.

The chairman, on behalf of the board and management, sympathized with the bereaved family and prayed for peaceful repose of the deceased’s soul, as well as strength for the family to bear the loss.
