Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The governor of South Sudan\u2019s Northern Bahr El Ghazal Governor Tong Aken Ngor has urged members of the state legislative assembly to prioritize drafting laws to safeguard the state\u2019s natural forests during the assembly\u2019s reopening session on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Addressing the parliamentarians, Governor Ngor emphasized the importance of enacting legislation to curb indiscriminate tree cutting by residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently planted 1 million trees, and I have instructed the Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with UNFAO, to continue planting trees to promote rainfall attraction,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Ngor\u2019s call comes amid concerns over climate change, which has caused erratic weather patterns and hindered food production in the state and the wider region.<\/p>\n

In a separate development, Governor Ngor implored the Members of Parliament to set aside political affiliations and work collaboratively towards the common goal of service delivery.<\/p>\n

He also outlined a range of strategies implemented by his administration to enhance service delivery and development initiatives.<\/p>\n

These include the installation of telecommunication networks in counties such as Majok-Yithiou (MTN), Malith-Alek-Yai, Warguet, and Awoda, which he anticipates will be completed soon.<\/p>\n

Governor Ngor further disclosed that the state government is actively pursuing various plans, including the operationalization of Northern Bahr El Ghazal University. He urged the MPs to streamline the university\u2019s construction procedures to ensure its full completion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Northern Bahr El Ghazal Assembly Speaker Achol William Amuoi appealed to the cabinet, particularly its members, to share their policies with the assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonorable Governor, kindly work with your executive members to present their ministerial policies to us to pave the way for deliberation and the enactment of policies related to development and service delivery,\u201d she appealed.<\/p>\n

The Northern Bahr El Ghazal state assembly had been on recess for over three months.<\/p>\n
