He appealed to Members of the Association to exercise patience in their quest to be meaningfully engaged, assuring that soon he would create an empowerment program that would benefit some of its members.

He said contact had already been made with relevant authorities on the reticulation of the Greater Lokoja Water Works to Zango-Daji community and other social amenities for their well being.

While thanking them for the visit the Clerk enjoined them to refrain from all negative tendencies that are inimical to their pursuit of success in life.

He called for Government presence in Zango-Daji in terms of basic socio-amenities like roads, medical centers, market and assured that they would continue to be of good conduct.
