Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the late Faiz Khan did more than change companies, he changed lives.

Bainimarama says as a CEO, Khan put everything into turning around the Fiji Airports and Fiji Pine Group.

Bainimarama further says Khan’s leadership transformed insolvency into profitability, allowing government to share those profits with hundreds of Fijian workers.
