NCDC Board

Acting Provincial Administrator Edward Kila took the oath of office last month at the City Hall Boardroom, administered by Senior Magistrate Peter Balus from the Waigani District Court, in accordance with the NCDC Act.

During the solemn ceremony, Mr. Kila pledged to earnestly advocate for the interests of Central Province on the NCDC Board. 

Emphasizing the shared goals of development between Central and NCD, he expressed his commitment to fostering closer ties and leveraging commonalities for the benefit of both regions.

City Manager Bernard Kipit says the appointment of the Acting Provincial Administrator is important as there is a quorum to fill on the NCDC board.

He congratulated Mr Koaba on his appointment and said: “We are appreciative that you have been commissioned to the NCDC board, we look forward to your partnership in the board meetings.”

Mr Kipit added that NCDC in working together with Central Province to develop projects would prove effective to create more opportunities for the people.
