“One person, one barrel” theme drives the fundraising aimed to complete the project. Participants at the event contributed money to buy more than three thousand barrels of tar to be used for the road surface.
Puntland Parliament Speaker, cabinet ministers, businesses, traditional leaders and members of the civil society attended the event.
Last month Puntland State Vice President Ahmed Elmi inaugurated the second phase of Eldahir-Erigavo road construction project.
The road will economically revitalise a part of Somalia that has long been plagued by lack of infrastructural amenities.
