The United Nations Office for Project Services or UNOPS says the inauguration of Mingkaman River Port in Awerial County of Lakes State takes place this Thursday.
The Minister of Transport, Roads and Bridges in partnership with the Ambassador of Japan to South Sudan are expected to preside over the inaugural ceremony.
UNOPS implemented the 4.1 million US Dollars project of Mingkaman River Port funded by the people of Japan.
The new port is expected to expand the capacity of providing life-saving supplies to South Sudanese civilian population displaced after the 2013 conflict.
