“All Fijians should be given equal opportunity to take up leadership roles within the organizations in which they serve.”

“We need to take a united approach to the development of our Nation and to ensure that the best interests of the Nation are at the forefront of public actions and decisions.”

Himen Chandra, Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation president said it was a proud moment for FCEF and Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association to launch the Employers Hub today.
