President-elect Ratu Naiqama is set to take the Oath of Office as the President of Fiji on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at the State House. Earlier today, he was officially farewelled by the Parliament of Fiji.
During his farewell address, Ratu Naiqama emphasized the importance of continuity in public service. He stated, “I will be going across to the other side of the ground just to continue the work there. I’m not there to finish it, I’m just there to continue the work.” This highlights his commitment to maintaining and building upon the efforts of his predecessors.
As Ratu Naiqama prepares to take on this significant role, it’s a time of transition that many hope will bring about stability and progress for Fiji. His focus on continuity indicates a willingness to collaborate with existing systems and institutions, which could bode well for future governance.
Overall, this transition not only marks the beginning of Ratu Naiqama’s presidency but also serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of public service and the responsibility leaders have to their communities.
