Lebo, bowing to pressure from his colleagues, accepted to extend the service to Yakurr and pledged to do more in furtherance of his social responsibility to the people.

An elated Ovai Edward Osim, village head of Usumutong and Paramount Ruler of Abi LGA, thanked the Speaker for the gesture and promised that information about the free medicare programme will be properly disseminated to the people of the area.
