(Elder) Prince Godwin Ogorugba, has pledged to accelerate development and deliver more democratic dividends to residents as his administration enters its third year, declaring that the achievements recorded over the past two years are only the beginning.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service to commemorate his second anniversary in office at the Executive Council Chamber in Ozoro on Thursday, Ogorugba attributed the successes of his administration to the grace, mercy and faithfulness of God.
