Uige – Angolan head of state João Lourenço Tuesday held separate meetings with representatives of the civil society of the northern Uige province, with whom he discussed the pressing issues in the region.
Speaking to the press at the end of the meeting, the bishop of the Uige Diocese, Dom Joaquim Nhanganga Tyombe, said the meeting analysed the reality and the contribution the church can provide to the State.
"We believe in pro-activity. We are available to collaborate with the Executive in terms of the improvement of the life quality in our country," the priest said.
The traditional authorities of the region have requested the President to build more schools in the communes, reinforcement of work kits and the reduction of prices of the basic food basket.
The audiences granted Tuesday to representatives of the civil society in Uige, are part of the proximity governance the president adopted since he took office on September 26, 2017.
