South Sudan Vice-president Rebecca Nyandeng De Mabior has moved to a new office near Juba International Airport, the wife of the late SPLM leader announced in a statement.

“Today I have moved to a new office building in Thongpiny, near Juba International Airport,” she wrote on Facebook on Monday.

The senior government official said she has been working from Dr. John Garang International school owing to lack of government offices and said she is grateful for moving into her new office.

“Since I was appointed and sworn-in [took oath of office] as the Vice President, I started operating at Dr. John Garang International School due to shortages of government offices,” she said.

“With this new office, I am grateful to be here and I will continue to serving the people of South Sudan with what they need,” she added in the statement.

She further said that her “first priority is to empowering the youth, women and people with disabilities through capacity building.”

“I will always support the vulnerable people as i used to do at Dr. John Garang International School where I spent one year, while carrying out the activities of the office.

“I just take this opportunity to thank the staff in my office for the warm reception they did when I officially stepped in new building.”
