On getting there, Ado and...

The contractor that may not have a roof over his head this celebration season if NDDC refuses to pay him still has no ill will towards the management of the NDDC. In his words  he said, “ The God almighty that they serve is who I serve, the Executive Director Project is a man of prayer, he never begins any working day without praying with his working staff, I am appealing to him to help me in the name of Jehovah that he prays to everyday. The Managing Director is also a good Christian; let him remember his brethren in his time of need”.
