The people of North West Guadalcanal have been urged to move beyond simply recognizing their potential and to take steps towards transforming it into tangible ownership.

Speaking to a crowd of vendors, community members, and visitors at the opening of the Mini Trade Fair on Friday, July 25, 2025, Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Guadalcanal, Francis Belande Sade highlighted the natural abundance of human talent the constituency has.

“We possess a wealth of resources waiting to be fully realized. For too long, we have recognized these potentials. Today, however, we shift our focus from mere recognition to active transformation,” he said.

The MP emphasised that “transforming potential” means identifying and developing local resources, skills, and creativity.

Sade challenged the community to go beyond subsistence living and take control of their economic destiny through ownership.

“When you own your business, your product, your skills; you own your future,” he said.

Sade also highlighted the importance of empowering youth and supporting farmers.

The Mini Trade Fair runs from July 25 to August 3, 2025, and will also coincide with Guadalcanal’s Second Appointed Day on August 1, 2025.
