Mr. Toure also played a key role in facilitating road construction, upgrading facilities at the Nima Police Station, and supporting the Nima Government Hospital.
According to Mr. Jajah, anyone who succeeds the late MP will face the demanding task of sustaining his development agenda and preserving the legacy he leaves behind.
