The government is taking significant steps to enhance infrastructure in the greater Nausori area by forming an emergency committee dedicated to road and drainage improvements. Deputy Prime Minister, Prof. Biman Prasad, made this announcement during a recent inspection tour of rural Nausori and Tailevu, where he evaluated the region’s infrastructure challenges and set development priorities.
In his statement, Prof. Prasad emphasized the ongoing concerns regarding rural roads and drainage systems, which are critical for the local communities. The government’s plan includes special funding under the Strategic Planning Office to ensure these works are efficiently coordinated.
Additionally, the tour included a meeting with farmers at Deep Water in Tailevu, where the government has provided machinery assistance. This support is aimed at improving agricultural productivity, allowing farmers to diversify their crops to include rice and watermelon, thereby strengthening local food production.
This initiative aligns with the government’s overarching goal of enhancing the quality of life for citizens through improved infrastructure and services, as previously highlighted in Prof. Prasad’s discussions during tours in other regions, including Seaqaqa. He has consistently noted the importance of addressing various sectors, including agriculture, which plays a vital role in local economies and job creation.
The establishment of this emergency committee is a hopeful step towards averting future infrastructure-related issues and showcases the government’s commitment to prioritizing the needs of its citizens. With concerted efforts and special funding, there’s potential for transformative changes in the region that could lead to improved living conditions and economic stability for the residents.
