You can see then that there is a lot that can be done to develop the microfinance and small business sector to become a major contributor to the development and growth of our country. The North can contribute to this objective. Labasa, as well as the entire Northern Division has become a national priority in Government’s current development focus.
There is availability of vast untapped resources in the Northern Division. With proper policies and support in place, these resources can be harnessed to produce business opportunities and source of living for the people in this region. The Government is keen on realizing this. We intend to visit some projects under the Northern Development initiatives today.
