The difficulties faced during the development of the Wamena-Mumugu road ..."Jayapura (ANTARA News) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), as part of his work visit to Papua on May 9-10, is scheduled to inaugurate three projects in Jayapura.
The three projects to be inaugurated are the Skouw Border Post, Holtekam Steam Power Plant, and Mama-Mama Market in Percetakan Street, Jayapura.
Military District Commando Commander XVII Cenderawasih Major General Hinsa Siburian informed ANTARA News that apart from inaugurating the three projects, President Jokowi will also hand out the Healthy Indonesia Card, Smart Indonesia Card, Hopeful Family Program assistance, and land certificates.
Meanwhile, in Wamena, President Jokowi will oversee the 47-kilometer-long Wamena-Habema road project by using a car and later a motorbike.
The president will later ride a bike to observe some five kilometers of the remaining stretch of road that is yet to be layered with asphalt, Major General Siburian noted.
Meanwhile, Chief of the National Road Development Large Bureau Area XVIII Papua Oesman Marbun said the road is part of the Wamena-Mumugu main road project that stretches some 284 kilometers.
Following the completion of the project, Marbun expressed hope that the needs of all people would be met through land, as Mumugu will have a port soon.
"The difficulties faced during the development of the Wamena-Mumugu road are related to geographical barriers, such as extreme weather conditions, which could arise abruptly," Marbun pointed out.
