Tiko Council under the stewardship of Lord Mayor HRH Peter Ikome Mesoso III, inorder to ease the establishment of civil status documents in his municipality, has created a secondary centre in Mudeka.
The centre in Mudeka will go a long way to ease the establishment of Civil Status Registration documents to the people of the mongo zone and the creeks who faced it difficult to travel to the sub-divisional town of Tiko.
The news of the creation of the civil status registration secondary centre in Mudeka has been received with a lot of joy by the people of the area which to them is a true approach of citizenship participation by Tiko Council to its citizen and encouraged the Mayor to do more.
