THE Western Province Youth Centre and the Seghe Provincial Administration Office are expected to open soon, a development anticipated to further strengthen service delivery across the province.
Provincial Secretary of Western Province, Patrick Toiraena, said a tentative timeline has been set for the facilities to open sometime next month.
Speaking to Island Sun last year, he said the new offices will enable better coordination of government services, promote economic activity and improve access to provincial development programmes.
“This is a major step forward in our effort to bring the government closer to the people,” Toiraena said.
He said the Seghe Provincial Administration Office will operate as a satellite office of the Western Provincial Government, extending core administrative functions to Seghe, which has been identified as the newest provincial hub in the Western Province.
Toiraena said Seghe has experienced significant infrastructure development in recent months, including the recent upgrade of Seghe Airport and the groundbreaking of a new terminal and market house project.
He said these developments are expected to stimulate business and tourism opportunities while enhancing transportation and trade links throughout the province.
According to Toiraena, the opening of the facility marks an important milestone in strengthening governance and improving public service delivery, particularly for communities in the Marovo region.
Meanwhile, Western Provincial Youth Desk Officer, Trina Paroi, said the Youth Centre will be a major asset for young people and the province as a whole.
Speaking to Island Sun, Paroi said the centre will host a range of programmes and activities, including trainings, workshops, a computer shop and a gallery for youths to display their products.
“We are counting the clock towards the grand opening,” Paroi said.
