The struggles that are faced by the remote rural communities of our country is always testing the service delivery of government.

This was highlighted by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama during his surprise visit to Nasauvakarua Village in Navosa yesterday which made him the first Head of Government to set foot on the village.

Bainimarama says that he has always hig1hlighted to civil servants that if they want to serve the people better with government services then they should visit them.

He says that people that do this are lucky as they know how hard and important it is for these people to access these services.

Many villagers came forward to thank the Prime Minister for his unwavering dedication to all Fijians especially for those in the interior and remote places of the country.

Bainimarama also held talanoa sessions with the villagers on issues affecting them such as transportation, accessibility to government services, telecommunications, infrastructure, health and education.

He highlighted that when he had visited Nanoko village a few years ago, he saw that road conditions was an issue for the area.

Bainimarama says that villagers then assisted in trying to get his vehicle across the muddy roads.

He says that he then asked the relevant authorities to look into these issues.
