More than 4,000 Fijians in the province of Namosi will soon have access to basic services with the construction works on the new $200,000 Namosi Government Station expected to begin in two weeks time.
Provincial Administrator for Namosi and Serua, Viliame Rakai said that the Ministry of Lands has completed their survey works on the 56 acres of land that will accommodate an upgraded police post, a health centre and an office for the Department of Agriculture, Lands and Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development.
“The only phase left to complete now is the topographical survey by the Ministry of Works and the site levelling by the Fiji Roads Authority,” Rakai said.
“Once the site levelling is complete, construction works will take place.”
The provincial administrator also stated that once the government station is established, the 20 villages in the four tikinas (Wainikorovula, Veinuqa, Naqarawai and Namosi) will be able to access government services.
Previously, villagers in Namosi used to travel to Navua to access basic services.
Namosi which is renowned for its mountainous and rough terrain is the least populated province in the Central Division with more than fifty percent of its population living in the interior.
