After the tour of the projects within the Ondo Central Senatorial District, Hon. Muritala commended the Water Corporation for their efforts thus far. He urged them to compile a list of challenges hindering the progress of the projects for onward submission to the appropriate authorities, ensuring the prompt resolution of these issues.
"We will leave no stone unturned in ensuring the successful completion of these projects for the benefit of the people we represent," Muritala assured. He further encouraged the corporation to maintain open communication with the House Committee to foster better understanding and effective oversight.
