Hard work and unity in Nausori Town has seen so many developments - Premila Kumar

Hard work and unity of the people of Nausori has resulted in so many developments in Nausori Town for the past 50 years.

While highlighting this during the Nausori Town Council and Nausori Market Vendors Association Fiji 50 celebration at the Nausori Municipal Market, Minister for Local Government Premila Kumar says two major developments in Nausori is the construction of the biggest municipal market in Fiji and the Pacific and also the development of the Nausori Bus Stand.

She says in 1970, the population of Nausori was only 4,000 with 2,000 ratepayers but today through major developments more than 57,882 Fijians call Nausori their home with 4,385 ratepayers.

The Minister reminded market vendors that without a competitive spirit, business progress cannot be what it is today.

Kumar also thanked all vendors and the organising committee for a beautiful display of unity that has given life to the town of Nausori.

The Nausori vendors have decorated their stalls with Fiji Blue balloons, material and flags.

More than 1,800 vendors also sang the national anthem to mark the Fiji 50 independence day celebrations.
