“Patrict Atampugbire is my “second Jesus”. Our women previously had to travel miles in search of water because of the lack of water in our community.

So always put my community first. So in my little way, I will contribute my part for the good of my community.”
COP Patrick Atampugbire Akolgo also admonished members of the community to develop the attitude of helping each other in anyway possible to help others to advance in life.
