The Nyassoso Cultural and Development Association, NYACUDA general come together held under the theme ” Building local capacity while fostering sustainable development.”
The ceremony provided opportunity for NYACUDA to reinforce community togetherness, preach peace and plan development.
According to NYACUDA President, Peace is the bedrock of any development endeavor and there is need for the community to work together to promote development.
“This ceremony provides us the opportunity to reflect on the milestone we have covered, we celebrate our achievements, resilience, we honor our elders, our youths and the generations to come,” he said.
He called on sons and daughters of Nyassoso to work together for the development of their community, protection of their cultural heritage.
The President rolled out a series of achievements of NYACUDA in the past one year.
“In February 2026, NYACUDA launched a complaint to the administration against recalcitrant landlords unwilling to sell land for development. Here again, the administration acted promptly by urging the chiefs and notables to take concrete measures to ensure that this situation be redressed soonest,” he said, a situation that will open doors for non indegenes to invest in Nyasoso and promote development, he added.
Campaign for the creation of Nyasoso Integrated Health Centre, efforts afoot to push for the creation of new administrative units, and many others.
“While expecting that funds be allocated by the state for a permanent site for which land has already been allocated by the community, a temporary site has been identified for the Integrated Health Centre to go operational,” NYACUDA President announced.
Chairing the ceremony the DO of Tombel sub-division, Nyam Leonard, lauded the people of Nyasoso for their unity and steadfastness to uphold their cultural heritage and promote development as a people.
“When community members work together for the common good, it strengthens the community and creates important bonds between community members,” he said.
SWENE WATER PROJECT
The President also announced the progress of ongoing water supply project.
“The growth in population coupled with increase in the number of concrete brick houses and other forms of vertical construction necessitate the increase in the volume and velocity of portable water supply in the community. To salvage this situation, a supplementary source of supply has been identified at the “SWENE” stream. This project, if realised, Nyasoso shall be capable of supplying water to some needy villages. As mentioned already, we recently made an exploration of the water course at the slope of Kupe Mountain where “SWENE” takes its rise and we are happy to inform you that our feasibility studies are impressive and we are calling on all sons, daughters, well wishers and friends of Nyasoso to contribute towards the realisation of this project which we are launching today,” NYACUDA President announced.
