I am honoured to be among distinguished Yala sons and daughters as we usher in our collective vision through project 1000.
For me, this meeting is a call to contribute to Yala’s destiny, to deploy my professional and managerial competencies, experience, and wide range of networks to give attraction to the Yala~Agenda.
I take it as an honour and sincerely hope and pray that God will grant me the opportunity to serve and contribute to the realisation of Yala’s prosperity, growth and sustainable peace and stability.
I, therefore, want to express my gratitude for the messages of goodwill and the sound advice I have received across the Yala nation and from all of you here that has crystallised my vision for Yala. I also charge you to join me in the journey of realising Yala’s destiny created by the collective action of all of us.
As I traversed the entire Yala Nation in My desire for public service, I have encountered the genuine spirit of our people, their generosity, warmth, kindness, resilience and optimism. While this beauty and diversity is so endearing, our people are unable to experience its depth due to shortage of links to aid movement of people, goods, services and capital,but today through our collective efforts and desire for a change our digital Governor has changed our stories through massive infrastructure,we must all for this reason make community service our most priority, Enabling interaction among our people and especially our youth is a debt that we owe to the present and future generations.
We have to carry and pass on the baton of the founding fathers of Yala, who recognised the strength of collaboration and common dialogue during their younger years. Their interaction, aided by intellectual quest and the dream of a free and dignified Yala brought us liberation, freedom and political independence.
Many paid the ultimate price to grant us the freedom we thrive in today.
Today, the possibilities of Yala’s growth and prosperity are real. We are a National hub of innovation, entrepreneurial talent and creativity. Yala youth are taking advantage of available resources to curve out transposable solutions to some of our most pressing challenges. In sum, our youth are our currency. This century is theirs and Yala’s! To harness their potential, we must collaborate both politically and economically.
We must work in partnership and integrate in a manner that catalyses Yala’s synergy and diversity.
Beyond the efforts that must be undertaken within our various Communities, common solutions reside in our collective wisdom embodied in our collective identity. Our priority should be to our people: To empower and afford them real opportunities to grow, to prosper and to live in dignity.
This is a sacred call of duty that can only be accomplished together, without leaving anyone behind. A leader is not one who makes the farthest strides to the front but one who brings everyone along to the desired destination. That is the approach that we must embrace in order to build the Yala of our dreams.
This must be our vision and action as we embark on this New Journey. To shape the common destiny of Yala; the destiny of the Yala people. Our heritage, our history, our views and our shared values can and must inform our approach to solving our most pressing challenges. Join us in creating the Yala destiny within the framework of our collective Mission and vision
“For last generation’s actions belong to last generation’s and next generation’s action await our collective decision today.”
