He praised the community for its cooperation, unity, and strong leadership, describing their relationship with the wider community as harmonious and progressive.

He stated that the gesture of providing items food items during this fasting period is aimed at deepening bonds and demonstrating solidarity.

As part of future plans, Mr Agbeve revealed his intention to support about 50 women in the Muslim community with financial capital to expand their businesses. He acknowledged that while the community is not entirely isolated or deprived of basic amenities such as water, electricity, and education, there remains a need to empower residents economically.

He further commended the entrepreneurial spirit of the community, citing activities such as livestock rearing, farming, trading, and scrap businesses as key areas for growth. He assured that the assembly continues to include members of the Muslim community in initiatives like the National Apprenticeship Programme to ensure they benefit from development opportunities.
