He also praised the community-driven approach of CSDA, noting that the active involvement of community members in identifying, implementing and providing feedback on projects ensures ethical standards and maintenance.
The commissioner appreciated CSDA General Manager/CEO, Hon. Monday Diamond Ani, for his leadership, proactiveness and dedication to ensuring that the governor’s vision for grassroots development translates into meaningful projects across Enugu State.
Responding, Ani appreciated the commissioner for the visit and his recognition of the Agency’s efforts.
