“Your presence here tonight is greatly appreciated as it manifests the great relationship we have in terms of sharing a common vision which is to develop Namibia and her people to ultimately become a sustainable, knowledgeable and educated nation and country,” said Henry Feris, the Managing Director of Pick n Pay Namibia during the dinner. He added that through the O&L Group’s purpose statement – ‘Creating a future, enhancing life’ – Pick n Pay was proud to be associated with and supports, amongst others, the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s Growth at Home strategy that aims to develop the economy through local growth.
“By mobilizing the contribution of the private sector towards a business environment that encourages Namibia’s competitiveness and growth, we are confident that a skilled labour force is one of the major contributing factors to mitigating slow growth and that high unemployment levels are in large part a result of a shortage of skills,” he said.
