”We will continue to engage all social strata and the stakeholders in all rural communities to clearly find a way of improving basic amenities and also to improve their standard of living.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that strategic community engagement is a precondition for every development effort, as it gives people active participation in the development engineering.
” As we focus on the development of the urban areas, we will not relent in developing the rural areas as well,” he said.
