Minister inspects scores of development projects in southern Iraqi province

Scores of development projects are under construction in the southern Iraqi Province of Missan of which the city Amara is the capital.

“Our ministry is currently implementing 53 development projects of different kinds in the province,” said Minister of Reconstruction and Housing Mohammed al-Daraji.

Daraji was touring the province for a first-hand view of his ministry’s projects which range from new roads to the construction of hundreds of new housing units.

Daraji held meetings with the provincial officials including governor Ali Dawi.

Missan is one of Iraq’s least developed provinces. The minister outlined an ambitious program to develop the province.

He said his ministry’s companies were constructing roads hundreds of kilometers long and building 18 new structures.

The minister also visited Missan’s largest housing project of 405 housing units.

But there has been delays in implementing many of the ministry’s 53 development projects.

The minister said part of his visit was to enquire about the reasons for the delays and how to expedite the reconstruction process.
