Uduk who expressed excitement at the commencement of the project hoped that it would be completed in record time.
The Ag. DG said when people work in an organisation, they look out for such incentives that they can fall back on when they retire and that spurs them to further put in their best to enable the organisation deliver on its mandate.
“we are aware that when people work in an organisation, they want to do better and have something to look up to after retirement. I believe that this will help us and provide some form of support to us long after we have left the services of the Commission.
“This investment will help us in one way or the other in the future. We don’t all have to live here, some of us will live here while it could become a source of income to others after we have retired”.
