On the sister- City relations with the Charlottesville Group in the United States of America, Hon.

The team also met with the local chamber of commerce to lay down the groundwork for potential trade and investment opportunities between the two cities, adding that such dialogues have the potential for paving the way for economic progress and shared responsibility.
Commending the Charlottesville Group for continuously coming in to support various sectors of the Effutu economy, Hon.

According to him, the act of benevolence by the sister-city partners in Charlottesville is not only to enhance healthcare capabilities but to also showcase the positive change that can be achieved through cross-border collaborations. The Ambulance he said, is expected to be in the country by October this year.
Hon. Zubairu Kassim pledged his commitment to continue to run an open door and all- inclusive administration to enhance knowledge sharing in the build up to an improved Municipality.
