Commending author Mrs Ndahafa Mutongolume for compiling the work, the President said the publication reflects key themes of leadership, nation-building and development, while encouraging citizens to take an active role in shaping Namibia\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA writing nation is a reading nation, a reading nation is a knowledgeable nation, a knowledgeable nation is a productive nation, and a productive nation is a prosperous nation,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Nandi-Ndaitwah noted that the themes outlined in the book align with the priorities of the Eighth Administration, particularly ethical leadership, accountability, education, skills development, entrepreneurship and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stressed that nation-building is a shared responsibility and urged Namibians, especially young people, to contribute their skills and talents towards national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe future of Namibia is in our own hands, and each of us must bring forth our talents and make our contribution,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President also reaffirmed Government\u2019s commitment to supporting the creative industry and encouraged stronger partnerships to expand opportunities for writers, artists and cultural practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then officially declared Building Namibia\u2019s Future: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah\u2019s Roadmap to Unity, Prosperity and Transformation launched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
