South Sudan’s Vice President for the Service Cluster, Hussein Abdelbagi, arrived in Rumbek on Sunday ahead of the second graduation ceremony of the Rumbek University of Science and Technology.
Abdelbagi is expected to preside over the ceremony on Monday at Rumbek Freedom Square on behalf of President Salva Kiir Mayardit, who serves as chancellor of public universities.
He was received by Lakes State Governor Madhang Majok Meen, state officials and residents, according to a statement from his office.
The vice president traveled by road from Juba, a journey his office said allowed him to assess infrastructure conditions along the route.
He is accompanied by several senior government officials, including Senior Presidential Envoy on Special Programs Adut Salva Kiir, as well as the ministers of general education, higher education, health and labor.
During the visit, Abdelbagi is expected to inaugurate a newly built accommodation facility at the university and visit Kiir Mayardit Hospital and Rumbek Secondary School to assess service delivery, particularly in the education and health sectors.
He is also scheduled to meet with the state governor to discuss challenges affecting service delivery in Lakes State and review progress under the government’s Services Cluster.
