Our land is not merely a piece of property; it is a source of sustenance, identity, and prosperity for our communities.

This was highlighted by Minister for Youth and Sport Jese Saukuru while officiating at the the opening of the first-ever Nubulevu Youth and Sports Club Sevens Tournament, themed “Land is wealth.”

Saukuru says the theme for this year's Nubulevu 7s tournament is significant and thought-provoking which means through careful management and utilisation of our land resources, we can create opportunities, improve livelihoods, and foster sustainable development.

He emphasised the vital role of sports in nurturing discipline, building strong character, and fostering teamwork among our youth. Saukuru also highlighted the importance of supporting community-driven projects and encouraged individuals and organisations to rally behind the Nubulevu Youth Club's cause.

As an advocate for youth development and sports in our country, the Minister's support for this event underscores the significance of the Nubulevu Youth Club's initiative and their dedication to improving the lives of the young people in our community.

The tournament aims to support the Nubulevu Youth Club in completing their project initiative.
