The governor said in his speech today Tuesday in Port Sudan, at the workshop of the reconstruction and recovery program, amidst a wide participation of interested people, that we have started the program of rebuilding some water and electricity stations, hospitals and communications, and the rebroadcasting of the Khartoum channel and radio, but this effort is insignificant compared to the scale of the great destruction that has affected the state. He added that the Khartoum State Development Conference, which was held a few days before the war, will serve as a basis for the development of a reconstruction plan, and that reconstruction does not only mean rebuilding buildings, but rather includes restoring national cohesion and strengthening the social fabric.
The governor called for the creation of a fund for the reconstruction of the state, while a number of institutions announced their financial contributions to the fund.
For his part, Federal Minister of Government, Engineer Muhammad Kurtkila Saleh, said the federal government would advance efforts arising from the workshop's recommendations and mobilize the energies of the private sector, organizations and society to support the reconstruction of the state.
