Western Provincial Government (WPG) has taken on the initiative to bring much needed services closer to its people.

This follows the completion of the brand-new administration office at Seghe, in the Marovo area.

The administration office will be up and running next month, bringing in the eyes and ears of the people of Marovo and the eastern part of the province.

Provincial Officers will be stationed at Seghe to administer provincial work so as national matters that would help speed up development at the area.

At the moment, WPG has established its presence at Munda, Noro, Shortland Islands, Gizo and now Seghe.

“This is a major step forward in our effort to bring the government closer to the people. The new office will enable better coordination of services, promote economic activity, and increase access to provincial development programs,” Patrick Toiraena, Provincial Secretary to Western Province said in an interview earlier last month.

He said the new facility will serve as a satellite office of the Western Provincial Government, extending core administrative functions to Seghe, which has been identified as the newest provincial hub in the region.

Toiraena said the Seghe hub has seen notable infrastructure improvements in recent months, including the recent upgrade of Seghe Airport and the groundbreaking of a new terminal and market house project.

He stressed that these developments are expected to stimulate business and tourism opportunities while improving transportation and trade links across the province.
