Despite logistical and financial challenges, CAPO successfully negotiated and implemented the first phase with support from partners and stakeholders. The second phase, Carlor noted, will soon expand to all communities in Carbadae.
Chairman Carlor also acknowledged the support of Crayton Old Man Duncan, whom he credited for making critical contributions to the initiative's success. He called on citizens to actively contribute to their communities' development and support the work of government and elected leaders.
Residents, youth groups, women leaders, and traditional authorities welcomed the initiative, describing it as a major milestone for rural transformation in the district.
Wacaba Statutory District Superintendent Kwekue Queeley commended CAPO for what he described as a timely and impactful intervention benefiting communities across the Carbadae area.
