Treating the issues one by one and skilfully directing his team to action in the process, President Ali committed to residents that an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) hub will be established in the community to assist youths who are interested but unable to join the Guyana Online Learning Academy (GOAL) due to not having the means. The residents were in high praise of the visit, which shocked some members of the community. Some said they have never seen a President of Guyana visit the area. “I live in this area 53 years, and I appreciate this. This is history!” commented a vendor at Nicky’s Food Court.
