The IRS boss further listed impactful and life touching government projects  which the governor has initiated in the area to include the Cattle Ranch there in Adadia, the Prime hatchery in Mbiaya and the reconstruction of the Methodist Hospital, Ituk  Mbang.

“What the governor has started he must surely complete and do more” stressing that Uruan occupies a central position in the industrial development map of the hence the major reason the governor must go back for a second term to actualize all these laudable programmes he has for the area.

His appointment, they also said has brought stability to the politics of the area as he has used his entry into the politics to galvanize the different interest in the area to pursue only one common purpose which is the return of Governor Udom Emmanuel as the governor of the state next year.
