He added that the projects executed under the 2018 budget estimate were: renovation of a block of classrooms at Army Day Primary School in Ward 1, renovation of open market stalls at Oregbeni market in Ward 2, construction of 2 units of 24 open market stalls, including toilet facility and water borehole at Ohovbe market in Ward 3, construction of 2 units of 24 open market stalls, including toilet facility and water borehole at Urora market in Ward 4, construction of a block of primary school at Avbiama in Ward 5, construction of Dumez road market in Ward 6
