Finschhafen Local Level Government will now be ready to construct a New LLG Administrative Complex for its administrative affairs to the tune of K1 Million.
This was made evident with the ground breaking at Gagidu Town, witnessed by two Deputy Provincial Administrators (Miring Sigoling & Robin Bazzinuc), Gagidu Town Mayor Jerry Habilo, and Provincial Government Team on Saturday.
The funding allocation from Morobe Provincial Government through the Leadership of Morobe Governor Hon Ginson Gohyuec Saonu, signifies the provincial governments support for Urban Areas Development.
The funding allocation is the first of its kind for Finschhafen Urban LLG after successive district and provincial governments have overlooked a proper office for the town mayor to operate from.
Governor Saonu said the first K500,000 is to be released soon to a local contractor to kick off construction and a further K500,000 will be made available to deliver this timely project.
The event at Gagidu Town, concluded the Provincial Team visit to Finschhafen District from Thursday 5th May 2022- Saturday 7th May 2022, beginning at Makini (Mape LLG), Satneng (Kuat LLG), Pindiu Station ( Hube LLG), Yunzaing ( Kate LLG), Nanduo ( Kate LLG), Siki ( Kate LLG), Braun Health Centre ( Finschhafen Urban LLG), and Gagidu Town.
Gagidu Town Mayor Hon Jerry Habilo stated that in 2019, he had presented the submission for the office to Finschhafen District Development Authority and until now had not received any favorable response.
“There is another K2 million from the Provincial Physical Infrastructure & Growth Centre to be earmarked as well to complete the LLG chamber office.”
Hon Habilo thanked the swift response of Governor Saonu towards the beginning of mobilization of the project to go ahead.
Finschhafen Urban LLG has six ward councils and is Finschhafen District main administrative centre.
