Finally Getting an All Weather Road after 50 Years of Independence

After 50 years of Independence, our people in some of the most remote parts of the Sepik Plains are finally getting their roads and seeing cars and PMV trucks in their villages for the first time. Now they can jump on a PMV and go to Wewak instead of walking 6 hours to catch a PMV truck. 

We, the Yangoru-Saussia DDA, just competed an 18-kilometre road from Kiniambo to Sengera covering all the villages in between like Makambu and all the way down to Sengera Community School, which I use to reach by helicopter and by planes. I visited the completed road last week and told the contractor to build one more permanent bridge over the wet crossing between Kiniambo and Makambu. A lot of work has gone into this important road which will, when completed on the Wosera District section, will link us to Yenchen village on the mighty Sepik River. 

I was so happy to see the excitement of our people to finally receive an all weather road after 50 years of Independence. 
Yes, in Yangoru-Saussia we must not leave anyone behind. Wok Must Go Yet, there is no stopping. 

We will have the grand opening of the road at Sengera Primary School on Monday, April 7, 2025.
