Fatshimetrie, July 28, 2024 – The future of Sankuru, a central province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is shaped by the crucial issue of infrastructure to support its agricultural development and reliable access to drinking water. During a recent meeting between the region’s deputies and the Minister of State for Rural Development, Muhindo Nzangi, these key issues were at the heart of the discussions.
Emmanuel Ompete, President of the Sankuru elected officials’ caucus, expressed the need for improved agricultural access roads and water supply in the province. These infrastructures are essential to facilitate the movement of agricultural products and ensure a healthy water supply to the local population. Indeed, Sankuru is full of natural and agricultural resources, but their exploitation is hampered by the lack of adequate infrastructure.
The deputies shared their concerns with the central government, calling for investments in opening up the region through waterways and rehabilitating agricultural service roads. These projects, if successfully completed, will fully exploit the economic potential of Sankuru and improve the living conditions of its inhabitants.
The satisfaction of Sankuru elected officials following this exchange reflects their hope for the realization of these infrastructure projects. Indeed, resolving the problems of accessibility and water supply would represent a real step forward for the sustainable development of the region.
In short, the future of Sankuru depends in part on the establishment of quality infrastructure, such as agricultural service roads and efficient water supply systems. These investments are essential to unlocking the full potential of Sankuru and ensuring a prosperous and sustainable future for its inhabitants.
