It is an opportunity for us to make our contributions to the development of the communities and this is the essence of being a Senator or member of House of Representatives or member of State House of Assembly, just to go and inform the authourities at various levels that our Institutions or communities need this or they lack that and that they need the Federal government attention or State Government attention and so on.
