Hakainde Hichilema Greenlights Mbesuma Bridge Construction: A New Era for Mobility in Zambia
In an exciting development for the people of Zambia, President Hakainde Hichilema has officially approved the construction of the Mbesuma Bridge, a vital infrastructure project that will connect Muchinga and Northern Provinces. This long-awaited project has been on hold for several years, with locals resorting to a pontoon to cross the Chambeshi River, highlighting the urgent need for better connectivity in the region.
The bridge project represents more than just infrastructure; it’s about enhancing trade and facilitating smoother travel for the people of Northern and Muchinga Provinces. Presidential Aide for Political Affairs, Levy Ngoma, shared the president’s vision during a recent trip to Kasama Airport in Northern Province. Ngoma emphasized that the bridge will not only ease movement but will also empower local business activities, bridging the gap between communities and boosting the local economy.
Ngoma assured the public that President Hichilema is committed to fostering a peaceful environment conducive to development, as demonstrated during the recent Kawambwa parliamentary by-election, which was marked by a spirit of unity and cooperation. He underscored that peace is a cornerstone of Hichilema’s administration, promoting national unity and stability as essential elements for progress.
As the Mbesuma Bridge project comes to fruition, it is bound to create numerous job opportunities, stimulate local economies, and improve the quality of life for countless Zambians. Infrastructure has historically played a critical role in the socio-economic development of nations, and Hichilema’s focus on enhancing connectivity is a testament to his commitment to modernizing Zambia.
With construction set to begin soon, all eyes will be on this landmark project, which promises to reshape the landscape of mobility in the region. This project is yet another step in Hichilema’s ambitious plans to drive development and uplift communities across Zambia.
