He said: "We have gone to some places and saw what you have been doing. Concerning LAUTECH, immediately you came in, you paid all the staff working there and I see this as a commendable achievement.

"And you are also utilising the little resources which the state has to develop it. You pay your workers salaries, pensions and others. So, we are proud of you."
