Road Construction Project in Lainya County
(LAINYA COUNTY) — A prominent civil society leader in Central Equatoria State has thrown his support behind Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony’s recently announced infrastructure development plans for Lainya County and Wonduruba Administrative Payam.
The ambitious development package, unveiled by Governor Adil on May 8 during the Pojulu Cultural Festival, aims to boost local connectivity and improve essential service delivery.
Key projects announced include the rehabilitation of crucial feeder roads—specifically the Loka-Birigo, Limbe-Mukaya, and Lainya-Bereka-Wonduruba routes—along with the construction of the Lainya Airstrip and the strengthening of rural cooperative societies.
A cornerstone of the announcement is the planned upgrade of the Lainya Primary Health Care Center (PHCC) into a full hospital, a move designed to address critical healthcare gaps.
Wani Edward, Secretary General of the Lainya County Civil Society Network, welcomed the initiatives but urged the state government to ensure swift implementation.
“We welcome the move and as civil society, we advocate for the implementation of these development projects because roads are good for development and service delivery,” Edward said. “We shall monitor the progress and challenges of these projects.”
Edward highlighted the immediate impact the health facility upgrade would have on the community.“Pregnant mothers are still being referred to Yei hospital for delivery, and it will be of great importance if these plans are implemented.”
Beyond infrastructure, the civil society leader appealed to the state government and the ministry of education to prioritize the rehabilitation and re-opening of the Loka Secondary School to support local youth education.
Governor Adil stated that these projects reflect the state government’s commitment to inclusive development and equitable service distribution across the region.
