He has already started work on that and I am confident he will ride the new team of executives and all Olivetians towards the success of this administration’’
‘’On my achievements, I would love to say they are not mine but all Olivetians that supported the team. I’m proud the hall we are sitting in today is one of the things we saw at the beginning of my tenure and we made it happen. The second one is the sports field that was accomplished and commissioned. There are several projects I can’t name and that’s why I’m proud of those things.
