As from Tuesday next week, the Oniipa town council will start serving its customers from its new N$23 million building.
Since its proclamation in 2015, council has been operating from the Elcin church building.
In 2018, council awarded the contract for the new office building to Shivute Construction, a local company co-owned by former Brave Warriors striker Eliphas 'Safile' Shivute.
Town council CEO Junias Jacob says the 18-month project was funded by the urban and rural development ministry and was completed on time.
“The contractor has done a very good job for us. This is a modern building and I hope it is a conducive environment for our employees and customers. It comprises of 17 offices on its three wings, a boardroom, stores and a cash hall,” Jacob says.
“We have achieved what we wanted to achieve by turning the plan into a physical facility by using only N$23 million for both construction and consultancy fees, which is unbelievable.”
Relocation
Jacob says the building is ready for occupation and the council has started moving in.
“We started moving in today [Tuesday] and we will be done by Monday next week. That means by next week Tuesday we will start serving all our customers from this new building.”
