Labasa is set to welcome a new business initiative aimed at boosting local growth and employment opportunities through Cagivou Investment. Jerry Tuiwai, the director and ambassador for Cagivou, stated that the company’s expansion into Labasa is designed not only to drive business growth but also to engage local youth actively in their operations.
Cagivou’s plans for Labasa include the establishment of a supermarket, shopping center, and residential apartments. Tuiwai emphasized the mission of providing jobs to local youth, drawing inspiration from their recent successful supermarket launch in Kinoya. He noted that despite initial skepticism about opening a supermarket in a so-called “red zone,” the objectives to give back to the community and create employment opportunities have been successfully met, with local young people currently employed in Kinoya.
Samuela Ligairi, the Special Administrator for Labasa Town Council, expressed gratitude towards Cagivou Investment for its commitment to developing the northern part of Fiji. He welcomed Tuiwai and his team, pointing out that one of the board members has roots in Labasa, reinforcing a strong community connection.
This initiative is part of a broader trend within Labasa, where numerous other investment projects are anticipated to unfold this year. These efforts align with ongoing discussions regarding economic development in the region, which has seen substantial investments aimed at enhancing local commerce and tourism. For instance, recent reports have highlighted plans for various commercial developments, including hotels and retail spaces, which are expected to significantly improve local infrastructure and employment rates.
As Labasa embraces these opportunities, residents can look forward to a revitalized economy characterized by increased job creation and enhanced quality of life. The future appears bright for both Labasa and its community, driven by local investments aiming to uplift and empower the northern region of Fiji.
