Fijians living in and around Naitauvoli in Naitasiri now have better access to roads.

This comes after the completion of the Naitauvoli Access Road that was funded under the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development’s Community Access Roads, Footpaths and Footbridges Programme at a cost of more than $25,000.

Minister for Rural and Maritime Development, Inia Seruiratu says previously villagers of Naitauvoli used a track as access to and from the village and had been in a poor condition.

This used to pose a risk to the children who use the track, particularly during wet weather.

Seruiratu says the new road will not only improve access, but also ensure easier access to markets for farmers from the village.

Truly satisfying to see how investments by the @FijianGovt through the @MRMDFiji is making a difference in the lives of #RuralFijians.
