Our people deserve the best, and I will ensure that our infrastructure projects meet their needs.”
Under his leadership, the local government has prioritized the development of roads, schools, healthcare facilities, and security systems. These projects not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also stimulate economic growth, making the region more attractive to investors.
