Mr. Amenga-etego entreated the chiefs and people to remain united in championing the needed development the community envisages.
“Knowledge is the basis of development and the idea that the youth had that they needed a library tells me that the youth have a future in this town”.
He pledged to continue supporting the community members in roofing the project.
Chief of Sirigu, Naba Roland Akwara Atogumdeeya III who inculcated the spirit of communal labor to youth of Sirigu by voluntarily carrying blocks and mortar to build the projectalso appealed to government and benevolent organizations to assist in completing the project.
