South Sudan’s Vice President for the Infrastructure Cluster, Taban Deng Gai, returned to Juba on Monday after a three-week farming visit to Guit County in Unity State, his office said.
Upon his return, Taban called on South Sudanese to take full advantage of the ongoing farming season to boost food production and help address hunger. He said poverty-driven hardship continues to contribute to insecurity in some rural areas.
The vice president also congratulated Unity State Governor Joseph Monytuil for what he described as recent improvements in security and stability since his reappointment.
Vice President Taban travelled to Unity State in mid-May on a private visit to inspect his farm ahead of the rainy season.
It was his first trip to the area since March, when he publicly said he had been blocked from travelling there by officials in the Office of the President.
He last travelled to Unity State by road in May 2025, when he visited Mayom, Bentiu and other areas, meeting local officials and addressing communities on peace and development.
