In both Karena, Gbinti, and Moyamba districts, H.E.Bio reiterated his avowed commitment to the Human Capital Development vision as the first priority to sustainable and rapid national development.
Addressing Paramount Chiefs, MPs, School children and teachers, community stakeholders, district and regional stakeholders, women, councilors, Ministers and Heads of Parastatals and civil society organizations in both Karena and Moyamba districts President Bio said, ” My government is a Human Capital Development government that focuses on education, health care, food security and social protection ” adding that in order to develop a nation, the human being must be first developed and taken care of by providing him or her knowledge, food and health care and hence he or she would be allowed to fend for him or herself. “That is the best way to develop any nation” the president emphasized. He furthered that his New Direction Administration was therefore fully committed to providing the facilities that would enhance human capital development nationwide. In Gbinti, Karena district for example H.E Bio encouraged parents to send their children to school particularly the girl child so as to emulate the Wurie and Bundu families who have excelled in the field of academia and thus become pioneers of development in that district.
Also in Moyamba, Retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio urged parents with government support, to invest in their children particularly the girls, who will eventually take care of them in future. “Let us all collectively ensure the success of this great package of Human Capital Development in Education , Health care, Social Protection and Agriculture” H.E Bio admonished parents, especially the Paramount Chiefs.
