MY MESSAGE TO THE CENTRAL (PAPUA) LANDOWNERS OF PORT MORESBY

By Lucas Kiap

The indigenous Central people should consider yourselves lucky that the Capital City of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby was located in your province.

Cities are hubs for commercial, business, trading, education, technology, employment and economic growth engines of a country.

Port Moresby provides businesses, trade, finances, employment and other opportunities that other provinces in PNG only wishing and dreaming of but don't exposed to.

The Central people should consider yourselves special that Port Moresby was chosen as the location for the Capital City of Papua New Guinea, exposing you to these opportunities.

Instead of waning and complaining about the law and order problems, organize and set yourselves up to capitalize on those opportunities to advance yourselves.

The city is only growing, with more growth and expansion, so will be the opportunities - endless opportunities at your disposal to capitalize on to better yourselves.

You have the land that the city will be expanded and the resources that the city will need. Don't be lazy around and complaining. Start organize and plan the use of your land and resources by a growing city. Develop business ideas and strategies, identify opportunities, create growth centers and hubs. Slowly but diligently implement those plans and make them into reality.

Don't let yourselves consumed with the challenges and problems happening in the Capital City. These problems are not only unique to Port Moresby but it does happens anywhere in the world in every City.

Let your leaders and government worry about the law and order problems associated with a growing Port Moresby.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT PORT MORESBY IS THE CAPITAL CITY OF PAPAU NEW GUINEA AND PAPUA NEW GUINEA IS A COUNTRY OF 21 PROVINCES EXCLUDING NCD. WISH AS YOU LIKE BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE.
