Director for National Disaster Management Akapusi Tuifagalele, was fare-welled by the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development as he retires from the civil service.
Tuifagalele first joined the civil service at the Ministry of Education in 1981 as a temporary clerk.
He was later instrumental in the formation of Fiji’s national disaster arrangements in the 1990s and played a crucial role recently in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Winston.
While giving his final address Tuifagalele says that it has been a long journey of work, friendship and exchanges.
The Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development is grateful to outgoing Director for National Disaster Management for his outstanding service and dedication.
Senior government colleagues and staff hosted a luncheon to farewell the outgoing Director.
