President Toroama at Poka
A holistic approach to socially, economically and politically revitalizing Bougainville is key to the region achieving its independence aspirations.
President Toroama was the guest of honor of the Poka Youth Summit in Poka Village in the Tonsu Constituency today where he made the statement.
President Ishmael Toroama says this holistic approach is not isolated to the functions of the government must include social responsibility by the people.
President Toroama said that Bougainvilleans must move away from the dependency syndrome that has plagued the region since the end of the conflict twenty years ago.
The President added that the failures of the previous government is the main reason why the people have been conditioned to think and act in a manner that forgoes innovation and creativity.
Above all President Toroama told the youths that inculcating the Christian principles and values will set Bougainville on the right path to achieve its ultimate political future.
Since taking office three months ago, the Toroama administration has been laying the foundations for a more pragmatic approach to socio-economic political revitalization for the region.
In its first 100 days President Toroama has launched several development projects that are aligned with his six point strategy.
President Toroama continues to support the call for a more workaholic society on Bougainville that will drive the economy, the political landscape which in turn will institute social change in the region.
