He requested the support of the population to Governor Lúcio Amaral.
In turn, Lúcio Amaral, in his speech, considered it important that there is the collaboration of the population, for the development of the new province.
He added that the province of Cuando, with joint effort, can become a dignified region to live in.
Thus, he pointed out as a major priority the communication routes, as well as the construction of the Mavinga International Airport, so that all the ideas and proposals of the members of the government he leads are executed.
After the act, the moment of handover of portfolios from the governor of Cubango to that of Cuando took place, with the testimony of the Minister of Territorial Administration, Minister of Public Works, Urbanism and Construction, Carlos Gregório dos Santos, members of the two governments, among others.
