Contracts Signed for Paving Over 200km of Road Between Mbanga and Lualaba

Minister of Public Works John Banza signed three contracts on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, to pave more than 200 kilometers of road linking Mbanga and Lualaba. The agreements were made with China First Highway Engineering Company Limited, Sinohydro Bureau 14, and the China Jiangxi International Economic Group.

The project signifies a major step in improving the region's infrastructure. Paved roads are crucial for economic development, facilitating the transport of goods and people, and connecting communities more effectively. The involvement of Chinese companies suggests significant international investment in the Democratic Republic of Congo's development.

This initiative is expected to boost local economies by improving access to markets and resources. The improved connectivity will also enhance the quality of life for residents in the Mbanga and Lualaba areas, making travel safer and more efficient.
