Nyagatare District on Wednesday, May 27 launched a new master plan for Nyagatare City, one of the six secondary cities in Rwanda.

The master plan outlines how the city will look like by 2050, with Nyagatare officials seeking to transform the largest district in the country into an agro processing and dairy hub.

Jean Marie Vianney Kuradusenge, a representative of Rwanda Housing Authority said, "We wished that Nyagatare remains a green city, therefore, this master plan brings a city residents want, but in a green way."

Sam Rubagumya, chairperson of the Private Sector Federation, declared that the master plan shows that the district wants to be an agro processing hub, and an investor will know the area to invest their money in.

Nyagatare District Mayor Claudian Mushabe, said the district in 2012 had a master plan, but it "needed improvements", and they had to do another one that is relevant with the current times.
