In the Haut-Uélé province, a figure is emerging in the local political landscape: Constant Lungagbe, a gubernatorial candidate determined to transform the province into a hub of agriculture and agribusiness. His ambition? To make Haut-Uélé a hub of food self-sufficiency, while harnessing the potential of food crops to stimulate the economic development of the province.
At the heart of his strategy is the imperative to produce locally and export the surplus. Lungagbe is counting on the valorization of local agricultural resources and a revolution in traditional farming practices to achieve this. His goal is not only to feed the people of Haut-Uélé, but also to position the province on the global map of agricultural exports.
However, for this bold vision to materialize, the Kisangani-Isiro road, for example, must become the spearhead of this provincial strategy. Connectivity by a quality road is essential to facilitate the transport of agricultural products to local and international markets, paving the way for a new era of prosperity for Haut-Uélé.
Constant Lungagbe knows that the future of Haut-Uélé lies in its ability to attract investments, modernize its infrastructure, and encourage innovation in the agricultural sector. By fully harnessing the province’s potential, Lungagbe hopes not only to ensure the food self-sufficiency of its inhabitants, but also to bring foreign exchange into the provincial treasury and increase Haut-Uélé’s participation in the national budget.
The path to radical transformation is fraught with challenges, but with his determination and innovative vision, Constant Lungagbe is emerging as a leader ready to defy conventions to pave the way for a prosperous future for Haut-Uélé. Self-doubt is the worst enemy of creativity. One of the keys to success is confidence in our people. This is the motivation of the great Chief Constant Lungagbe.
