Animashahun added that the council had also embarked on rehabilitation of drainage systems to mitigate flooding in vulnerable areas, a move that had been widely applauded by community leaders.
“Plans are also underway to enhance street lighting across major roads to improve security and extend commercial activities into the evening hours,” she said.
The council chairman urged residents to support government’s initiatives and take ownership of the newly completed projects.
“Development is a collective responsibility.
“We urge our people to protect and maintain these facilities so that they can serve generations to come,” she urged.
