In his acceptance speech, Mr Odikro acknowledged the weight of the responsibility ahead, recognising the challenges involved in steering the district's affairs.

However, he reassured both the assembly and the residents that his administration, in close collaboration with the assembly members, would implement strategic measures aimed at fostering sustainable growth and development.
