The Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development, Jerry Ekandjo, last week officially turned the sod for the construction of the envisioned new township to be known as Ekuku on the outskirts of Oshakati.
The project will cost government approximately N$200 million, housing close to 1 600 specifically low-income and middle-income people.
Ekandjo urged all the contractors to see that quality is not compromised and that they ensure that local employment is created in order to develop skills.
“This should be done under the supervision of local authorities and it is also the council’s obligation to ensure that local people benefit from local projects such as these,” he added.
