A YEAR OF NATION BUILDING

President Hifikepunje Pohamba in his new year message has called on  the nation of Namibia to look forward with renewed confidence so that our nation will continue to make positive strides in the process of nation building.  I have no doubt that through concerted action, our nation will be equal to the task. Through hard work we will conquer all challenges that we may face in the process of nation building.

Pohamba said the government is determined to continue providing steady leadership and will continue to encourage all people serving in different institutions, in both the public and private sectors, civil society and other stakeholders to build on the momentum that has been achieved so far. He further said success requires dedication, sacrifice, unity of purpose, resolve and perseverance.  I demand prudent utilization of public resources and ethical conduct on the part of public servants.

The President called on all public office-bearers and on each and every civil servant to make our public institutions more efficient and more productive. Let us work together to make the year 2014 a year of success in all we do and a year of efficient service delivery, especially to our people who still live in difficult conditions.

Join us as we pray for President Hifikepunje Pohamba and his team in all regions and on all levels of government to trust in the Lord to build the Namibian nation. To invite advisers with godly wisdom to assist them as they address the challenges of 2014. To model lives of righteousness, to work hard towards the goals of vison 2030 and to set an example for this nation to follow. 

Let us call on the Lord to make Namibia into a great nation, to  bless us;  to make Namibia a great name, and to make this nation a blessing in Africa and the world.

I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2
