Youths mobilize to embark on maintenance of rural roads

On May 7, 2016, there was community work on the stretch of road leading to Mbu-warr in Nkambe Central. Musa Shey Nfor, councilor for Nwangri village initiated the programme which many including HRH Fon Mbunwe of Mbot have described as a meaningful act aimed at fostering development effort.

More than 100 youths of Ngwanri came out with hoes, matchets, spades, wheelbarrows and cutlasses to fill potholes, clean road sides, clear culverts of the debris and dig water channels at (Mbumakop) to make the most deplorable spot below the Mbot palace.

Musa Shey Nfor said development is more appropriate when it is people oriented and community involvement in the maintenance of rural roads could be more sustainable.

He also added that if that spot becomes worst, plan B would be for the community of Mbu-warr to work on the second road through the Mbot Health Centre which will also make the road to Nterbang more accessible. He expressed gratitude to Ngwangri youths for their mark of patriotism.
