Unprecedented development to continue in Region 10 – Jagdeo highlights impact

As the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) continues its unprecedented infrastructure development programme, Region Ten is set to benefit from a further $10 billion in community roads.

Speaking to close to 700 small contractors at the Watooka Guest House on Friday, Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo underscored the impact this level of investment will have on community development and job creation in the region.

This initiative is being rolled out across the country, with every region benefiting. Since its return to office in 2020, the PPP/C administration has built thousands of community roads across the country.

Later, the Vice President engaged over 1,000 young people from the region. He encouraged them to take advantage of the many opportunities for empowerment that are available, such as the GOAL Scholarship Programme.

The Vice President also spoke about the government’s investments in health, education, and housing (including the provision of thousands of houselots), its fulfillment of manifesto promises, and plans for the next five years.

There were also lively, interactive exchanges during which he addressed issues raised by those in attendance. He took the opportunity to meet with several community groups.

The Vice President, who is also the General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, also met with Party officials and activists from Region Ten.
