My Family and I joyfully welcome you to a new year of glory filled with greater opportunities and a future filled with actualised dreams.

Despite the innumerable challenges of last year with many whose lot is hunger, poverty, homelessness and Insecurity resulting from misgorvernace, the new year provides another genuine opportunity for deep reflection on the past, a time to set new records; follow through dutifully with resilience, courage and trust in God to bless our good efforts.

Let us therefore begin the new year with the determination to try and to succeed. Do not be wearied by the seeds of discouragement, fear and small mindedness deployed to defeat our collective resilience, nor withdraw to ‘fate’ when we can actually create a boundless future for our families and for community.

I encourage you to face the year 2024 with confidence, open mindedness and with inspired dedication to those things that unite us as a people rather than those that diminish us. Together, we shall overcome the economic woes, lack lustre leadership, insecurity, hunger and fears that confront our people daily and thereafter lift them up to equal opportunities, freedom of choice, sustainable livelihood and fuller lives.

Happy New Year.
