Youth’s turn to do their part – Nujoma

Sam Nujoma

FOUNDING president Sam Nujoma says the older generation has done its part for the country, and it is now the youth’s turn to do so.

Nujoma said this in a speech read on his behalf by Oshikoto regional coordinator Armas Amukwiyu at the reunion of children born in exile held at Omutsegondjamba village in the Oshikoto region.

“Each generation must add its own bricks and leave room for the next to continue building and adding to it,” Nujoma said.

He commended the government’s initiatives to mitigate the challenges young people are faced with.

“Our youth is urged to take full advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement in sectors such as agriculture, which has the potential to grow the country’s economy, create necessary jobs, and take people out of poverty,” he said.

Nujoma said the government has diversified the economy, supporting local content and developing innovative opportunities for the future in the youth transformation journey.

According to Nujoma, Namibia is harvesting dividends with regards to investment – especially concerning the development of the green hydrogen and ammonia industries, as well as oil and gas.

“Similarly, the country established the Welwitschia Sovereign Wealth Fund, with the aim to counteract the effects of negative macroeconomic shocks, and to protect our foreign reserve position as well as promote intergenerational prosperity.”
