Today, we are all here sitting before history and to make/mark another history. Ladies and gentlemen, please, I seek your humble permission to acknowledge the progress we have made or achieves thus far: The Town Hall Building Committee was formed and inaugurated on Tuesday 25th July, 2023, about 11:46am at Eete AKporo Sogho by the Chief and Council of Bue Akporo Sogho. The Committee under my Leadership immediately went into action. The Committee Members are person of trust, integrity, determination and are oriented /educated in Community Development with experienced. In our first meeting held same day, we took our time to review available documents/works done by the previous Committee and we discovered that monies raised from their first Launching were used for the purchase of 20 bags of cement and molding of over 700 blocks and other expenses related to their project. On Saturday 26th August, 2023 at Eete Akporo, during her Town square meeting. The committee was called upon by the paramount ruler of Akporo Sogho, Mene Sir. Engr. Abel Torue Abalubu KJW, and Council to give report of our work, plans and actions so far. Well, after our report, a motion was moved for the dissolvement of the previous CDC and Committee led by Elder Nubor Hart Roland, due to what they said was their negligence and noncommitmet to task at hand. Mene Sir. Engr. Abel Torue Abalubu KJW, on the motion moved after critical review, dissolved them and adopted our committee on another ground of motion as the new Community Development Committee CDC, of Bue Akporo Sogho and was supported by 95% of those present at the Town square. Once again, Congratulations to us and Bue Akporo Sogho. Though it has not been easy with us, but we have always enjoyed the support of the chief in Council and majority of our people. We have been arrested severally, summoned both at the Alter and shrined. Our lives have been threatened and we ran for our safety. We have been petitioned, called names even as cult Leaders. Our characters and integrity have been damaged and assassinated unwarrantedly. As a team of strategists and oriented in achieving set goals, we were not moved by this distractors but all eyes on the ball. We actually planned for two launching, the mini launching and the Official foundation laying/launching. On Saturday 31/9/2023, our committee held her mini launching in the midst of threat where we were able to raised reasonable amount of money. And today we have also gathered here for the official 500 Capacity Gbene-Nsoo Town Hall Building/foundation laying, under the distinguished Chairmanship/ Foundation Bearer , Rt. Hon. Sir Dumnamene Robinson Dekor (KJW) DSSRS, and all our distinguished/respected guests. Again, our distinguished/respected guests. I am fully aware that many kept asking/saying, how and where does this small Akporo have the money from to execute this magnificent project in our history. Many, almost everyone are also aware that HYPREP visited us on Monday 4/9/2023. Our Committee was a beneficiary of their coming as I was given #210,000. As a Community and Leader, we sat down together knowing that there's a big project before us. We agreed that CDC should remit #100,000, Youth #50,000, and Women #20,000. Out of it, we bought 1000 blocks, one trip of 3/8, and embarked on many steps that took us to here today. Others were shared among our people whether big or small, accepted or denied. After our mini launching on 31/9/2023, we also: 1. Bought 650 blocks 2. Paid for our building plan 3. Officially consults our landlord and performed all Compound rites, and we all know what that means. 4. Made/ paid compensation to all those affected and are willing to accept it by the use of the land. 5. Rebuild a new two room toilet for the family as demanded by one of the major affectants. 6. Embark on other consultations to some designated families/compounds as required. 7. Clearing of site and other settlements. 8. Writing/sending of Courtesy letters, invitation cards/letters, and many others that aided our gathering here today. Distinguished/respected guests, sorry for taking much of your time on this attempt to put some records straight. To me, it's pertinent, I do it in the midst of this unending war against my Committee and the leadership of Bue Akporo Sogho by some individuals that have set themselves out as "anti Development of Bue Akporo" and their continued defamation of our reputation before the public and amongst their folks and where we hope to seek for supports to aid this project. Today, I extend my sincere call for inclusiveness and on all parties, groups, Sons and Daughters of Akporo, and our helpers to trust this Committee under my Leadership with your supports in cash or kind. Our door of peace and reconciliation has always been open and will be open till tomorrow until we are all united, to build a better Akporo Community for our generation ad children unborn. Distinguished/respected guests, we were assigned a task of building Town Hall. In this historic gathering today, I present to you the blueprint of the Town Hall. Name: Gbene-Nsoo Peace Hall Project site: Eete Akporo Capacity: 500 2 Offices: CDC and Chief offices Two Toilets Fans, AC, electrification and all Furnishing equipments, Musical set FEW BENEFITS OF THE TOWN HALL: The hall shall serve as: i.

Once again, we will accept all kind of donations and freewill support to accomplish and achieve this project. This is a day, the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Let us glorify God for His marvelous deeds and because He is always in perfect control, even as mortals, waivers. I am overwhelmed with joy with your present and Capacities, but at the same time humbled that by the grace of God, this project will see the light of the day by your support.
