He said the loans at low-interest rates will cushion the bad effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the tailors.

He also promised to maintain the tempo of his achievements during his first tenure which gave him the opportunity to be re-elected.

The achievements include the  provision of tailoring machines to members paid for at instalment rates, seminar to train members on liquid soap making to add small scale business to their profession especially to ease the hardship caused by the Covid-19 outbreak.
