Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony at J.P Maharaj Road, Nakasi this afternoon, Minister for Youth and Sports, Parveen Bala says Nakasi was identified as one of the heavily populated areas that needed a facility like this.

Meanwhile, Chinese Ambassador to Fiji, Qian Bo confirms that about $60,000 is being spent on this project in Nakasi.

He says they happy to come forward and assist the youth of Fiji.
