The RIWAMA Sole Administrator, Bro. Felix Obuah enjoined all the 23 Local Government Council Chairmen in the 23 Local Government Councils of the State, all Councilors, Paramount Rulers, Community Development Committees (CDCs), Youth Councils and other groups to ensure full participation of the people in their respective areas.
