Fiji was on course for a record-breaking economic recovery, says Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.
He told people in Lautoka this week the Fijian economy was ripe for developments.
“With every new development we achieve and every new dollar we put in our landowners pockets, we make the old politics more and more insignificant,” he said.
“There are some who don’t like this. I don’t care. All I care about is progress and prosperity for our people –– all of our people.
“Every Fijian wants this. I want this. So should you. The economy is ripe for these developments.”
Mr Bainimarama said his Government had invested heavily in roads, water, electricity and the protection of the most vulnerable, especially during challenging times.
“Now is the time for more of our landowning communities to develop their land and become part of this story of progress.”
The Prime Minister said Government launched a subdivision initiative that was based on the values of entrepreneurship, stewardship and partnership.
He added that through it, Government directly funded the ambition of forward-looking landowners or landowning units to develop their land and earn market rate returns from the leasing of their land.
The Government has so far commissioned income-generating projects in Nasoqeloa in Tailevu, Vuda and Yadua, Nadroga.
