the government will collaborate with the community and its residents to provide training, and utilise their skills and labour to build concrete roads in the area.

Consistent with the twomonth deadline attached to this commitment, residents will soon benefit from enhancement works on a number of the roads.

President Ali had said: “Whether you’re on the highway, whether you’re in the hinterland, the riverine com- munity, you’re in an urban centre, we are going to go there, we are going to meet you. Every single community we are trying to visit, every single community we’re trying to get into, because we want to hear from the people themselves.”

This also forms part of the government’s drive to involve communities in the larger development agenda, while supporting local economies.
