Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman on Thursday evening made an appeal for “national cohesion” to ensure development.
Trotman made the call when he delivered the featured address at the flag raising ceremony which was held on the lawns of State House in New Amsterdam, Berbice.
He also told the Berbicians gathered that the citizens of Guyana will become millionaires in the future because of oil. He highlighted that about 120 miles off the coast of Guyana in the Atlantic, “lies another resource, another way for us to be sustained.” According to Trotman, Guyana, as a nation, and Guyanese, individually, are estimated to become wealthy beyond imagination.
