President Jioji Konrote says he intends to continue to advocate on a culture of appreciation to see more Fijians doing great for our nation.
Konrote highlighted this while officiating at the Special Investiture Ceremony for the 2016 Honours Roll.
He congratulated the recipients of the 2016 honours and awards which included Ikbal Jannif, Hafizud Dean Khan, Commander Francis Kean, Jane Ricketts and Ambassador Major‑General Ioane Naivalurua.
Konrote made special mention of the contribution of Ikbal Jannif to the Fiji College of Honour as the longest serving member and immediate past‑Chairman.
He says that he strongly believes that when we recognize the exceptional and outstanding contributions of individuals, we are directly elevating them to a status that they rightfully deserve.
Konrote also stressed the need to recognize more females as they so far constitute only 27 percent of the total recipients.
