The community in Ireda East Ward, part of Lira City East Division, is celebrating the launch of an important three-kilometer road rehabilitation project. This initiative, which includes vital routes like Latigo Road and the Omar Corner–Angwen–Boke Road, promises to significantly improve daily life and economic activity for local residents.
Residents have expressed great happiness and appreciation for the division’s leadership, acknowledging their efforts to prioritize these much-needed road improvements. While welcoming the project, locals also shared a hopeful request: that the work be carried out to high standards. They believe that well-built roads will last longer, truly boost local businesses, and make travel much easier for everyone. The project is being funded through local revenue, demonstrating a commitment to using community resources for direct community benefit.
Leaders from Lira City East Division emphasize that these road improvements are just one part of a larger plan to develop the area. The Town Clerk noted that better roads will undeniably boost commerce, and he encouraged residents to continue their voluntary tax payments to enable more services for the people. The Mayor reinforced this, explaining that road rehabilitation, along with access to safe water, healthcare, and education, are top priorities in the division’s five-year development strategy. Both division councilors praised the leadership for finally addressing long-standing concerns about the poor state of local roads and confirmed that work has already started, with plans to extend rehabilitation to other roads in the future. They called on everyone to support these government initiatives through active participation and regular tax contributions, ensuring a brighter future for the ward.
