Please repair Hon stoutt, name markings, how long has that not been done.
As such, the VI must embark on a robust, progressive initiative. It must dive into a 1) planning, 2) organizing, c)directing, d) controlling, and so on actions to a) diversify the economy, b) invest in and construct a First World physical infrastructure ( Road network, Water, Sewage, Drainage ( Storm water), Gas, Electricity, Ports, Telecommunications, c) build a strong social infrastructure, d) build strong, effective governing institutions, etc., and so on.
We cannot continue to live only on the legacy, hopes, and dreams of national hero H.L. Stoutt. The VI must put those hopes and dreams into concrete actions. The window of opportunity for the VI is quickly approaching a vanishing point. We cannot let the future of VI growth and development become a Lost Cause.
