The people of Cikobia in Macuata are hoping that a request for a new boat from the government eventuates.

Cikobia Tikina Council delegate to the Macuata Provincial Council Isireli Soqosoqo told FBC News he has discussed the matter with the Government and things are looking good.

Soqosoqo said the island was given a boat two years ago but it did not serve its purpose as it could not carry cargo.
