He urged everyone in the province to cooperate to ensure the smooth completion of these developmentactivities, which he emphasized as crucial to improving the lives of rural residents in Malaita.

“These projects are long-overdue and will address the pressing needs of our province. They are opportunities that we must all support for the benefit of current and future generations,” Premier Asilaua said.

Once these projects come to completion, the premier said they will significantly improve services in Malaita and address basic service needs across the province.
