The Mayor also disclosed that the entire project is being handled by the works department of the local government council.

So John Udeagbala,a billionaire that accepted to serve as the mayor of Aba North LGA is also a poor man?

To have renovated Ohafia LG HQ to that extent deserves commendation abeg, keep politics aside.

He has done well and needs to be congratulated.

Appearances can be deceiving

It is more logical than breaking a town into several LGAs then trying to do town planning like a 3 headed mugu
