He said what Dr. Nduom had done was a clear indication of his willingness to help the assembly and called on all well-endowed citizens of the municipality to emulate his spirit of commitment.
Mr. Sam described Dr. Nduom as someone who was concerned with the welfare of the municipality, right from the time when he, Dr. Ndoum was just an assembly member, and that the donation was in continuation of his zeal for development.
He said part of the money would be used to rehabilitate the septic dislodging trucks and the refuse collecting trucks that had been abandoned for years.
Mr. Sam stated that clean up equipment such as wheel barrows, shovels, rakes and safety boots would also be purchased to be used during clean up exercises.
