Among these challenges is the fact that Pomio is the largest district that covers over 70 percent of the province.
Since taking office as the District Administrator for Pomio in 2007, Peter Peniat, who is originally from the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, says Pomio is a difficult district.
Having served in the other districts of Rabaul and Kokopo, Peniat says Pomio has a lot of challenges, given its rugged terrains.
He says since 1975, the only development by 2007, was logging, which was then followed by oil palm development, years later.
