Though we have appealed to the assembly but the challenges still persist. I can't be reluctant as a chief for our cherished community thus seeing it necessary to inter vain with little support I can provide" he stated.

According to the chief, they felt neglected by the assembly as they have shirked their responsibilities towards the schools and the community.
