The MCE stated that it was time for the municipal assembly, Yilo Krobo state, individuals, and organizations to partner and undertake strategic investments and projects that would promote socio-economic growth and accelerate development in the area.
Mr. Tetteh stressed the importance of unity and peace, as conflicts only breed divisions and hinder development.

Nene Oklepeme also expressed his gratitude to the MCE for assisting the community in paving the lityorry station to protect it from adverse weather conditions. He commended the committee for their commitment to the development of the lorry station.
Furthermore, the Chief urged the MCE and the Member of Parliament for the area to use their lobbying skills to ensure that all roads leading to the municipal area are fixed. He emphasized that the area serves as a major food basket in the Eastern Region and having well-maintained roads would contribute to a thriving economy.
