Premier of Nevis, the Hon. Joseph Parry says St. Kitts and Nevis should seek to honor those pioneers who contributed to the nation’s independence. 
 
The Premier made the statement on Sunday march 16, 2008, when he addressed the congregation at an ecumenical service at the Charlestown Methodist Church.  The service organized by the Nevis Christian Council ushered in activities to commemorate the silver anniversary celebrations of the independence of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
 
“We must give honor to them for their contributions that they have made to St Kitts and Nevis and Nevis in particular. As we seek to give credit and we seek to applaud those who contributed, we have to remember those who contributed before the last 25 years because many generations have slaved, work hard, made sacrifices to bring us to where we are today and for this, we should be proud and we must remember them.

Deputy Premier of Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel and Special Advisor in the Ministry of Culture Mr. Halstead Byron, in a televised broadcast on Nevis TV (NNC) on February 25, 2008, enlisted the support of the public to recognised that the Federation’s 25 years of Independence was worth celebrating. They said given the island’s history of colonialism and underdevelopment, Nevisians had made remarkable strides from 1983 to the present.
 
Minister Daniel, chairperson for the Planning Committee said the single most important aspect of development in Nevis was the return of local government.
 
“The return of local government to Nevis is significant and it happened with Independence under the Nevis Reformation Party government.  We were there at the start of Independence celebrations and now we have 25 years of celebration, we are here again,” he said.
