WUM COUNCIL: ROCKING THE TIDE IN DIFFICULT TIMES.

Since its re-election in February this year, the present council executive has dedicated this mandate to concrete actions in the domain of development for the betterment of the livelihood of the people. It is evident that efforts are being made so as to alleviate poverty, empower the people, so as to make life worth living.

Far from being an observer, the Landlord of the Municipality, Councillor Dighambong Anthony Mvo, recently visited all ongoing constructions and rehabilitation works within the municipality. From roads, classrooms, agric post, slaughter house, general rehabilitation and the construction of a mini fence at the women empowerment center, the Mayor left no stone unturned as he made sure that development within the WUM Council area moves smoothly.

The recent outing by the Wum Council Boss is a move to foster peace as it rings the clarion call to sons and daughters of the Municipality to start thinking of returning home and contribute to the development of their Municipality as there is no other place like home.

The Mayor used the outing to call on all the contractors to do everything humanly possible, to see that these projects are realized within the stipulated time frame, this for the benefit of the population of the Municipality.

With the relative calm that prevails in Wum, all eyes are now turned to the Heavens for Grace so that the Municipality can be transformed into a paradise on earth. For this to come to fruition, all hands must come on deck. Your prayers, positive criticism, will power and suggestions, will definitely be the wind beneath our wings so as to propel the Wum Council to higher heights. Dixit Councillor Dighambong Anthony Mvo, Lord Mayor Wum Council.
