Mozambique commissions 70 km road to enhance trade with Tanzania

Mozambican President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi has commissioned a key link road funded by the African Development Bank. Completion of the Negomano-Roma Road, in the country’s northern province, is already enabling communities in the Mueda district of the northern Cabo Delgado region to enjoy improved road conditions, access to health and education, and increased local economic activity. Accompanying President Nyusi at the official commissioning ceremony on August 4 were Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, Carlos Mesquita, Cabo Delgado Province Secretary of State António Supeia, and Governor of Cabo Delgado Province, Valige Tauabo. Also present were more than 200 local residents of the Mueda district and a delegation from the African Development Bank, led by the Bank’s country manager for Mozambique, Cesar Mba Abogo.
