The proposed Copper Mine Project is a blessing to the Namosi province.
Those are the words of Tui Namosi Ratu Suliano Matanitobua at the first day of the Namosi Provincial Council meeting.
Ratu Suliano is confident that the people of Namosi will benefit from the project in terms of employment opportunities, interacting with people from overseas, learning a lot and getting a good salary.
He also told the landowners to continue to respect the i-taukei tradition and culture, and not to be swayed easily by what they see when the work begins.
The Tui Namosi is requesting Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama to have more meetings with the landowners.
