Additionally, the lawmaker provided tangible assets including: Point of Sale (POS) machines to 10 individuals,10 local boats, Water pump generators, Agrochemicals and knapsack sprayers.
Addressing the beneficiaries, Hon Mackondo pledged the continuity of the empowerment scheme.
He expressed gratitude to the State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, for enabling members of the State Assembly to effectively support their people.
