“How do we give back to the community? We have five thematic areas– provision of educational infrastructure, health, sports, water and sanitation and skills building. Today is the first time we are fulfilling our policy on health delivery, so far as Ellembelle District is concerned, in appreciation of the support that the people have given to the company. Upon completion, it will enable the Ayinase health centre to offer 80 percent of services offered by the Ekwe District Hospital”, he added.
