Mogadishu Mayor Mungab Opens Nasiib Buundo Road in Shibis

On 31 December 2025, Goobjoog News reported that Mogadishu Mayor and Banadir Region Governor Hassan Mohamed Hussein (Mungab) inaugurated a new road in the Shibis district. The road is named Nasiib Buundo Road.

Speaking at the opening, Mayor Mungab said the project demonstrated the city government's growing ability to finance and deliver critical infrastructure using local resources, and that the road was fully funded by the Mogadishu municipality, a claim attributed to him. He described this as a clear sign that public revenues are being translated into tangible services.

The report does not state the cost of the road, the budget behind it or any contract value. No contractor, consultant or implementing entity is named, and no start or completion date, road length or other specification is given. The municipal funding claim has no independent confirmation.

Mungab said the inclusion of solar-powered street lighting reflected a focus on safety and modern urban planning. The report does not specify the number of lighting units, their capacity, supplier or cost, and does not establish that the lighting has been installed beyond the mayor's statement.

The mayor stressed that quality and sustainability were central to his administration's approach, saying contractors are held to strict standards and long-term responsibility for their work. No contract terms, defects-liability period or enforcement record is provided.

He also announced plans to accelerate road paving across Mogadishu from 2026 as part of a broader urban agenda, according to Goobjoog News. That plan is an announced intention: it has no budget, kilometre target, funding source, tender or programme document in the report.

Mungab called on communities to take shared responsibility for protecting public assets, urging cleanliness and cooperation with municipal maintenance teams. He concluded with a call for unity and a message that Somalia's territorial integrity remains non-negotiable.
