Numbo LLG

Getting a high school after 43 years

This follows the groundbreaking ceremony last week at Handra by Minister for National Planning and Monitoring and local MP, Richard Maru.

Numbo locals gathered at Handra to welcome the Minister and his delegation.

“Mi hamamas Minista, lo wanem yu luksave lo krai blo pipol blo mipla. Tenk yu true em dei blo mipla,” said Michael Kombo, Numbo LLG President.

Handra Junior High will be the sixth high school in Yangoru-Saussia, the biggest number in East Sepik.

A seventh will also be launched at Winge, bringing the total number to seven.

All villages in Numbo LLG will be connected by road, says Maru

Maru, who is also the Minister for Trade, Commerce and Industry, gave this assurance at Humbuke Village during the opening of a double classroom for Humbuke Primary School on September 16.      

“I am happy to be here for the first time at Humbuke because there is a reason to celebrate independence,” said Maru.

“I want to tell the Numbo people that by the end of this year, all the villages in Numbo will be connected by road for the first time in our history.

“In two weeks’ time, machine will work at Kwaramukum and Koru – that is the last two villages.”
