A Transcript Of The Premier of Nevis 2008 New Year’s Address

I bring New Year’s greeting to all Nevisians at home and abroad and to all those viewing, listening or following this address via the Internet.

Firstly, I must thank God for the successes of 2007.  My team of Hensley Daniel, Robelto Hector, Dwight Cozier and Carlisle Powell, have worked remarkably hard to make life better for all Nevisians.  It was not just the construction of the island main road or the other roads done; it was the emphasis we placed on improving the lives of our people.
