Charan Jeath Singh has returned as Sugar Minister after Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka reversed an earlier Cabinet allocation that placed responsibility for the portfolio under Agriculture Minister Tomasi Tunabuna.
Singh says he was informed of the decision in an email from the Prime Minister on Monday night.
While speaking to fijivillage News, Singh says he will continue the work he had started in the sugar industry and ensure it moves forward.
The Minister has thanked the Prime Minister for restoring the Sugar portfolio to him.
He is expected to formally take up the portfolio next week.
