The people of Bua and Macuata will soon have access to quality roads following Government’s signing of an agreement for a concessional loan from the Exim Bank of China for the sealing of the Dreketi – Nabouwalu highway.

Neglected by previous governments, the important road linking Labasa and Viti Levu via Nabouwalu had never been sealed.

Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, Pio Tikoduadua signed the agreement on behalf of Government yesterday for a loan of $220million.

Work is expected to be completed within 30 months.
