“Our community is overwhelmed with the illiterate children due to lack of a nearby secondary school”, she said.
In this context, the community received relief from their legislator Juliet Achayo Lodou who delivered 100 bags of cement, 15,000 bricks, fuel and construction water valuing a tune of Ush. 20 Million.
“It has been within my manifesto to enhance education services across the constituency of Ngora, as a leader with a large heart, I have decided to conjoin myself with this community in raising a school and link them with government for a possible hand”, she said.
