"Federated Chapel has a duty to collaborate with this Agency hence our support". 

"I challenge everyone to appreciate the objective of this Agency and contribute where necessary in ensuring that Akwa Ibom is not just a destination but a destination with a review of being clean, healthy and sustainable", he appealed.
