2024 was ‘a fantastic year’- Governor Pruce

“Coming towards the end of my first year here and what a fantastic year it’s been. It’s been a privilege to occupy the position of Governor and real honour to work alongside partners across governance, across all the agencies, departments and ministries and beyond focusing on the areas that I identified as priorities when I was first sworn in here as Governor,” he said.

Upon being sworn into office on January 29, 2024, Governor Pruce identified security, good governance and aiding to build a better future for the VI as priority areas.

“As we come towards the end of this year, I look back very fondly on that initial period and look forward to next year where that work will continue and will continue to aim to make a positive difference to life here in the islands,” he promised.

Thanks for the 'warm welcome'- Governor Pruce

Governor Pruce in extending well wishes to the VI on behalf of himself and his wife Mrs Rachel Pruce said, “I wish everyone in the Virgin Islands a wonderful festive period, a joyous, prosperous and peaceful New Year and take this opportunity to thank everyone for the very warm welcome they’ve extended to myself and my wife Rachel.”

He also stated that he looks forward to getting to know more of the islands and its people in 2025.

Governor Pruce is currently away from the Territory until January 6, 2025, in his absence Deputy Governor David D. Archer Jr. is acting in the Office of Governor.

    Fantastic yes, but not for the vast majority of the people of the BVI financial standing.

    Governor, Daniel Price, you much like some BVI politician.
