In addition, he mentioned, the Akabri 90' alumni also carried out a mass medical treatment consisting of blood donors, health checks, circumcision, and consultation of stunting handling.

In addition to social and health assistance, he said, some 14 houses were renovated, two of which were for police members, one for military personnel, and the rest 11 houses for the community.
