TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and the delegation accompanying him visited the Vezirköprü TSO. Speaking after the welcome speeches of Vezirköprü TSO Board President Abdulkadir Fişekçi and Municipality Director İ. Sadık Edis, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “You have a President of vision. Through him, Vezirköprü has relayed its problems to President Erdoğan. While I have both Presidents here let me say that the chamber’s building is unbecoming of Vezirköprü. Let us all together give Vezirköprü a new service building.

Fişekçi brings up the issues of Vezirköprü at every opportunity. I will give my support for faculty and industry as well as following up on it. TOBB has a project to build 81 schools in 81 provinces. When these are finished, we will turn to counties. Samsun doesn’t have a TOBB school yet either.”
