President outlines vision for Nauru’s future following election

Re-elected President David Adeang has outlined his vision for Nauru’s future after unveiling his new-look Ministry last week.

The President said:

“Thank you Nauru for again putting your trust in me and my government. What we commenced in the last term will now continue, and we are determined to advance our agenda of:

  • building the economy through innovate initiatives
  • excellent medical services and increasing preventative health
  • creating a smart nation through high quality education
  • investing in social and sporting projects that will improve social cohesion
  • and ensuring the nation will become strong and prosperous for future generations.”

President Adeang added that he was “deeply humbled and profoundly grateful” on his re-election.

“The decision of the people to return us to serve you once again is not only an honour; we consider it a sacred trust.

“You have given us your confidence, your faith, and your mandate to continue leading our beloved nation. For this, and from all of us, we say from the depths of my heart — thank you. Mwa tubwa kor.”

According to the President, the government has been given “a three-year term with no excuses.”

”An overwhelming mandate, not just in our own communities but an overwhelming mandate in the House.

“We take this mandate very seriously and we ask each and every Nauruan to contribute what they can to help us in our journey towards economic resilience, strengthening our governance, and again ensuring that the benefits of our development reach every home and every family on Nauru.”

The President added, “while the UN has ranked us the world’s fifth most vulnerable nation to economic and climate shock, we have decided that this is not our future.

“We will determine our course through bold leadership and working together, and my ministers and I are committed to serving all Nauruans to this end. ‘God’s will first’.”
