We had to remove the numbers. That's uderstandble. Some of the Npower volunteers could call at odd hours. Calling State Focal Person by 7AM, 11PM is absolutely odd.

Whichever the case is, we'll make available phone number of your state focal person based on demand, and if it's necessary to issue it. We m...
