The General Manager noted that the mandate of the Agency was to enable remote communities to feel government presence through intervention projects that make direct impacts on their lives and well-being.
Against this backdrop, he said that the Agency had been able to do much and ensure sustenance of its intervention projects across communities because of its adoption of Community Driven Development (CDD) Approach.
This approach, he said, gives communities the opportunity to do their needs accessment and come up with particularly projects they want making them to imbibe the spirit and mind of ownership of the projects in completion and would naturally want to ensure maintenance of what belongs to them.
He hinted that the Agency might before the end of the year, execute a well planned media event to showcase its achievements.
“We’re planning to have a media chat where we’ll be online or on air with some communities for you to hear from them directly. I think it’s better you hear from the communities.
On the Agency ‘s plans for next year, the General Manager said, they should be able to surpass the achievements so far made saying, “So, I’m looking at between 100 to 150 community development plan across the three Senatorial Districts and there will not be less than 350 micro projects.
“So we have the capacity, we have the staff that can can do it. If we could do this within a span of three months or four months, you can see what we can do within a year with prompt release of money by His Excellency, we can do very well.”
Chief Dauda Momoh however hinted that all the accolades being poured on him for a job well done should rather go to the staff who have always been there willing and courageous to face the tasks at all times.
To mark the Birthday, Muslim and Christian clerics thanked God for the life of the General Manager and for granting him the grace to steer the Agency to greater heights where it had been able to positively impact lives in various communities across the state.
