President calls for innovation, hard work

PRESIDENT Sam Nujoma has challenged regional and local leaders in the Karas Region to reorganise themselves and plan scientifically to exploit the abundant natural resources in the region.

“We can’t rely on outsiders, therefore we have to reorganise ourselves,” he said. The Head of State held a meeting with local leaders at Keetmanshoop at the end of last week before he officiated at the renaming of streets at the town.He also spoke out strongly against tribalism, which he said was the order of the day in the country.”I feel insecure in a small country like Namibia, therefore it is of utmost importance to be a united and hard-working nation in this cruel world,” he said.President Nujoma urged local officials to engage in the struggle for economic independence and to motivate idle youths to become hard-working citizens.He further encouraged them to stop relying on foreign markets, and rather strive to develop the domestic market for goods and services.The Head of State held a meeting with local leaders at Keetmanshoop at the end of last week before he officiated at the renaming of streets at the town.He also spoke out strongly against tribalism, which he said was the order of the day in the country.”I feel insecure in a small country like Namibia, therefore it is of utmost importance to be a united and hard-working nation in this cruel world,” he said.President Nujoma urged local officials to engage in the struggle for economic independence and to motivate idle youths to become hard-working citizens.He further encouraged them to stop relying on foreign markets, and rather strive to develop the domestic market for goods and services.
