PRESIDENT Nangolo Mbumba has urged citizens to conduct themselves responsibly as the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections approach and condemned any instances of violence within the political sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would like to once again appeal to all our citizens to conduct themselves responsibly as we move towards Presidential and Parliamentary Elections in November. Recently, we have witnessed some disturbing media images of violence in the arena of politics. These incidents and those fomenting unrest and anarchy must be nipped in the bud,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president made these remarks at the recent graduation ceremony of the University of Namibia’s (UNAM) Windhoek Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n

He also congratulated the graduates and urged them to play pivotal roles in driving Namibia’s economic growth and safeguarding its governance structures. He highlighted the evolving nature of their professions, stressing the importance of embracing innovation to effect positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Mbumba further underscored the transformative potential of Namibia’s economy, citing the prospects of emerging industries such as oil, gas, and green hydrogen, alongside significant mineral discoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He therefore encouraged the recent graduates to rise to the challenge and play their parts in the advancement of our development agenda. He also urged them to embrace an entrepreneurial mindset, instead of lamenting unemployment, by creating new opportunities, challenging the status quo, and pioneering innovative solutions to address the complex challenges facing the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Although Namibia is a resource-rich country, it requires a well-educated and skilled workforce, as well as entrepreneurs to harness these endowments. It is now in your hands to play your part in our nation-building process,” President Mbumba added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
