According to the Metropolitan Chief Executive(MCE), Alhaji Abdulai Haruna Friday, the projects that were yet to be awarded included grading of Second Ring Road, the Zagyuri-Gurugu area roads, Zunjun-State Insurance Company (SIC) quarters area roads, pothole patching of roads in the metropolis and culvert repairs at Kulyneveya-Kumbungu road.
The MCE commended residents for maintaining peace in the past year but urged chiefs and opinion leaders to help iron out differences among residents for the accelerated development of the metropolis.
He assured the youth that at the appropriate time, they would benefit from job opportunities that would be created in the near future.
Alhaji Haruna further entreated residents to avoid bush burning to avoid destroying vegetative cover.
He announced that by February all the sub-metro councils would be made operational to enhance smooth administration in the metropolis.
