The young professional teacher who is always interested in joining a dynamic, challenging and intellectually stimulating environment where initiatives and drives are encouraged explained that the Afram plains in general is blessed with most of the natural resources including the vast land and it's water bodies which has received not much attention from government and other Non -Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to make good use of it due to lack of projection of the area's great potential in terms of tourism which he said will not relent on it.

"Our roads network I Know is the most priority of the people of Afram Plains North and South which needs to be improved, I will spearhead and lobby the government with my colleague MP for the Afram Plains North to see this our burden be a thing of the past" he struggled.
