The governor added that after restoring peace and security, his second target would be food security, health, education, and roads maintenance.

He also talked about vocational trainings to provide the youth with skills.

Governor Magok stressed on the need to collaborate with the development partners, and business communities as well as traditional authorities to reinforce social values and the rule of law in the communities.

To promote inter-state security, Magok promised to collaborate with neighbouring States and the Abyei Administrative Area on how to curb the rampant inter-state attacks, cross-border violence.

“Whatever the difficulties, peace and security shall prevail in Warrap State and our communities will prosper in unity,” Magok said.

Meanwhile, Ring Deng Adeng who spoke on behalf of commissioners said that they made efforts and continue doing their best to ensure communities peacefully coexist.

He said some of the isolated security issues need forceful disarmament to be carried out uniformly in conflicts bordering states to restore peace.

Meanwhile, the representative of UNMISS assured their commitment to continue helping South Sudan socially, politically and financially.
