A Dubai-based firm, Al Wasit Construction Company Limited, has expressed interest in expanding its operations into mining and infrastructure development across Central Equatoria State.
On Monday, the company’s Managing Director, Dr. Ahmed Ismail, met Governor Emmanuel Adil at the state secretariat, where discussions centered on potential investment opportunities in the mining sector.
Speaking after the meeting, Dr. Ismail confirmed the company’s readiness to engage in development projects in the state.
“We are ready and committed to participating in mining project activities in Central Equatoria State,” he said. “Our company sees strong potential for partnership and sustainable development here.”
He emphasized that the company aims to contribute to local economic growth through responsible resource development and infrastructure investment.
For his part, Francis Dabe, the Commissioner General for Mining in Central Equatoria State, said the state government is open to collaboration following directives from Governor Adil.
“The governor has directed us to continue engaging with interested partners like Al Wasit Company to ensure the delivery of essential services in the state,” he stated.
Dabe also welcomed the company’s broader interest in infrastructure development, particularly road construction, noting its importance for improving connectivity across counties.
“We are excited to receive Al Wasit Company to begin road construction projects in the state,” he said. “There is also a plan to distribute road construction equipment to counties so they can maintain and improve their local road networks.”
The engagement marks a potential step toward increased foreign investment in both mining and infrastructure sectors within Central Equatoria State.
