A high level committee, he said, has been formed to oversee the visit
of the South Sudan leader. The committee, to be headed by the deputy
governor, will also comprise of eight other sub-committees.
Neither the purpose of the president’s visit nor the proposed date for
his arrival to the state was disclosed by the deputy governor.
“As the chairperson for the high committee, we have asked the state
ministries to join the committees in support to make the President’s
visit to Wau successful,” said the deputy governor.
He urged residents of Wau to turnout in large numbers to welcome the
president on a date to be communicated later.
Ngberende, however, said the state government will provide additional
security protection forces in order to allow for the safe return of
civilians who are still at protection sites to their homes.
The South Sudanese leader, he said, is expected to address the
citizens of Wau and address the violence between the residents which
ended up displacing thousands of people from their homes.
Meanwhile, the state government will also take on renovations in Wau
state, Jur River Bridge and Wau Rumbek road, further stressed the
deputy governor.
