The Minister stresses the significance of sustainable road infrastructure in rural communities, citing its role in driving development and enhancing livelihoods.
Addressing the completion of the long-awaited Toga Bridge in Rewa, Ro Filipe characterizes it as a critical project with overdue benefits for the local population.
He points out that the previous low-level crossing was inadequate, particularly during heavy rains when it would flood, disrupting transportation and impeding the movement of people, students and farmers.
