Mbanza Kongo:The Minister of State for Economic Coordination, José de Lima Massano, received updates on significant infrastructure projects underway in Mbanza Kongo, Zaire Province. His visit included inspections of various development sites across the region.
According to Angola Press News Agency, José de Lima Massano, along with the Secretaries of State from the Ministries of Health and Public Works, Town Planning and Housing, examined the construction progress at the future Mbanza Kongo International Airport in Nkiende. The visit also included an assessment of the finishing works at Zaire General Hospital, which will have a capacity of 290 beds.
Further inspections included the development of the Mbanza Kongo urban centre, featuring 1,500 flats, and the designated site for an electrical substation intended to power social and economic projects within Nkiende's development corridor.
The minister, joined by Zaire Provincial Governor Adriano Mendes de Carvalho, also visited the 115-kilometre Mbanza Kongo-Cuimba-Buela road construction site. However, adverse weather conditions prompted an early end to his visit to the stalled bridge project over the River Mponzo, located on the access road to the border municipality of Nóqui.
