The Saboba District is undertaking several SOCO projects, including infrastructure development initiatives such as constructing a six-unit model girls' school at Hilltop and completing a maternity ward with consulting rooms at Demong. Additionally, market stores are under construction, and market sheds have been renovated at the Saboba market.
In the area of water and sanitation, the district is drilling boreholes equipped with handpumps or solar-powered pumps and constructing limited mechanized water systems. Community development projects also include the renovation of community centers and offices.

He expressed optimism about the progress made and hoped the projects would be completed on schedule. He emphasized that, upon completion, the projects would significantly ease burdens faced by the local communities and improve their quality of life.
