The proposed township at the borders of Nawaeb and Huon Gulf districts of Morobe province will definitely serve a huge population, if the government goes through with the plan to build this township.
The proposed township is an initiative of former Morobe Governor Mr. Ginson Saunu, where current Governor Luther Wenge has pledged to back the proposal.
The proposed township was planned to be established at where the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Livestock is operating at Wawin.
According to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Livestock Manager, Mr. Bamun Bange, the previous government had allocated an instalment funding of K1.5 million to an investor as a counter funding to commence the project.
He said the proposed township was strategically placed at a spot where it will serve people from the far end of Nawaeb District, where services have been neglected over the years in those areas.
“Communities like Fayang, Siara, Mamai, Bugeba, Sintogura, Mingima, and Bungki were forgotten Communities,” he said.
“Even the only national school of excellence (Wawin) in the province is situated at a grassland, about 30 minutes drive away from the Okuk national highway,” Bange said.
