Mbanza Kongo – The governor of the Angolan Zaire province, Adriano Mendes de Carvalho, on Tuesday assessed the works of the future Customs Post, under construction in the border commune of Luvo, which is 60 kilometers north of the city of Mbanza Kongo.
On site, Adriano Mendes de Carvalho received explanations from the company Tecnovia about the progress of the works that are already in their second month, since they were awarded.
Currently, the contract for this future customs post consists of earthworks of the space where the enterprise will be built, as well as the opening of accesses.
The governor was satisfied with the progress of the work, stressing that the future customs post in Luvo will improve the control and supervision of goods entering and leaving this border post with the DRC.
He said that it is a work of great impact to collect more revenue for the State coffers on the one hand, and on the other, it will provide more jobs for the youth.
Budgeted at 47 billion kwanzas, the project is being implemented in an area of about 21 hectares and will include several buildings.
Two hundred young people have found their first job in this work, which is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
On the occasion, Adriano Mendes de Carvalho expressed solidarity with the border authorities of Central Congo for the large fire that broke out on Monday night in warehouses at the Lufu border post (DRC), destroying incalculable quantities of goods. DMN/JL/DOJ
