“Over the coming years, it is vital that we build a highly productive Service Economy, and in doing so create a strong entrepreneurial environment, empowering our men and women to become more creative in income generating projects, and at the same time, we must raise our standards to international levels,” St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas told close to 600 nationals at a 25th Anniversary Dinner and Ball in London on Saturday night.

Minister of Health on Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel said that a collective partnership between the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), the private sector and civic organisations would put the Nevis’s elderly at the center of the island’s development.

He made the comment while he delivered an address on October 6, to officially launch activities in celebration of senior citizens at the Flambouyant Nursing Home. The theme is “Our Foundation “¦ Our Role Models”.

The Minister reassured the senior citizens of the Administration’s continued support and appreciation and cited that what Nevisians had accomplished as a people was due to the efforts, hard work and diligence of the seniors.

“There are still a number of people who yearn for the good old days when manners, respect and discipline were part of the social milieux in our community. We thank the elderly people for making sure that you raised generations of people who can carry on those values for us,” he said.
