The Yangoru-Saussia District Development Authority (DDA) is building the new Kamatohu Primary School in the heart of the Sepik Plains.
Member for Yangoru-Saussia District and Minister for International Trade and Investment, Richard Maru said this is the first time in 50 years the people in this area are getting a school for the education of their children.
“Like I said many times, we are working hard since my election in 2012 to reach the unreached and to make sure no one is left behind.”
He said, this new primary school and three other new primary schools in the district now completes the final effort to make sure every child in Yangoru-Saussia District has access to primary school, high school and secondary school education.
“We have also built a road to this very remote village community and linking their surrounding communities.”
“As we celebrate our 50th Independence Celebrations this year, we have a moral duty to deliver these remote communities all basic services like health and education so they too will have a reason to join our Independence Celebrations.”
