VILLAGERS of Navunikabi in Namosi walked out of a meeting and protested against the developers of the proposed Wainikoroiluva hydro project yesterday.

Village leader Nikola Rokowai said their protest was to show that they were against the proposed project.

The villagers said although they acknowledged Government’s efforts in bringing development closer to their doorsteps, they preferred that the proposed hydro project be carried out at a place further away from their village.

Hydro VL Pty Ltd is working on the proposed Wainikoroiluva, Wainikovu, Wanivaka hydro project.

They are estimated to cost $200m.
