I would hope that this Victor E Bruce Financial Complex serve as an inspiration to young Tobagonians, reminding them that they too are capable of achieving the kind of personal growth that Victor Bruce achieved by using the same keys of success – personal discipline; a commitment to excellence; and a willingness to work hard to achieve one’s goals.
Honorable Chief Secretary, I thank you sincerely for giving me the honour to participate in this most deserving tribute to a great Tobagonian, a true national icon and one who paved the way for many to follow. All the central bank governors that succeeded Victor owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for the respect and the dignity with which he imbued the Office.
