The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in collaboration with the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) and residents of Mahdia has completed the Brian Sucre Junction beautification project.

According to a press release from the Ministry, the project was requested by residents of the town and other persons who travel regularly to hinterland areas. The Junction is named after a former, late Commissioner of the GGMC. As a result, the Ministry in collaboration with GGMC has provided the area with signage, lights and fencing.

The Ministry’s Public Relations Officer, Stephon Gabriel, told Stabroek News  that the project was executed by residents of Mahdia and the staff of GGMC and MNR. He noted that the green and yellow colours painted on the fence were the colours of the Ministry and they represent the country’s gold and forests. 

The press release also stated that the Ministry has been giving support to over fifteen areas in Guyana by providing them with bins, streetlights, seedlings and fruit trees along with gardening and cleaning tools. “This has promoted the overall green agenda of the Government,” the press release stated.
