Chief Nwankwo advised beneficiaries of the eight million naira to make good use of the money pointing out that the five hundred thousand naira allocated to each person, if properly utilized will help them bounce back to their feet.

He appreciated God for the peace and progress enjoyed in the market, members of his executives for their team work and all who contributed to putting smiles on the faces of the beneficiaries.
