Hela Governor Philip Undialu is confident to bring the young province to the next level in the next five years.
He said a priority area his administration will be embarking on is the landowner benefits the government is yet to release to them.
Undialu added that so far, more than 300 shipments of LNG have been exported overseas but landowners are yet to receive their royalties.
He said the delay is also on the landowners, who are yet to fix the clan vetting and access their royalties.
Undialu further reiterated that the ‘gun surrender’ program in Hela will continue in order to maintain investor confidence and peace in the province.
“Law and order is a serious issue in Hela and we are calling on Hela people to refrain from tribal fights and election related violence,” said Undialu.
The Governor also called on the Correctional Service department to build the CS facility in the province.
Undialu urges all the leaders to put their differences aside and work together for the good of Hela.
He thanked the people of Hela for their support and committed to deliver services to them.
