More than seven hundred school children of Lomary Catholic Primary and Lomary Secondary School will now have their beachfront protected through Government’s investment of a $100,000 seawall.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama issued a directive for the construction works for the seawall to begin immediately.
This follows a visit by the head of Government to the Lomary Catholic schools earlier this week.
Divisional Commissioner Central, Laisenia Tuitubou said PM Bainimarama in his visit emphasised the immediate construction of the Lomary seawall.
“The Lomary seawall project is a result of one of the outcomes from the tikina meeting which was presented to the development board in 2012,” Mr Tuitubou said.
“We have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Works who will construct the project at a cost of $100,000.”
Mr Tuitubou said the seawall project would benefit surrounding communities and villages in Lomary in the protection of their coastline.
