With peace and equitable opportunities, employment can be accessible to us due to our qualifications and skills,\u201d Lobong said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aspire for a South Sudan where there is equality in employment opportunities across all tribal communities, solely based on qualifications and skills,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Lobong urged SPLM party members and the wider population of Eastern Equatoria State and South Sudan to engage in agriculture as a means to combat hunger.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the importance of practicing pastoralism, poultry farming, and other forms of informal work such as water vending to enhance livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHard work is essential.
