Georgetown: Toshao Nicholas Fredericks of Shulinab, South Central, Region Nine is the new Chairman of the National Toshaos Council (NTC) following elections Thursday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
Toshao Paul Pierre, of Kwebanna, Region One was elected Vice Chairman, Toshao Russian Dorrick of Yupukuri, Region Nine, was elected Secretary, Toshao Marbel Thomas, Campbelltown, Region Eight was elected Treasure, and Toshao Loretta Fiedtkou of Muritaro, Region Ten, was elected as Secretary/ Assistant Treasurer.
Newly-elected chairman of the National Toshaos Council (NTC), Nicholas Fredericks says the new executive of the indigenous body is ready to work with the government over the next few years on various areas of development.
And Minister of Indigenous People’s Affairs, Sydney Allicock reciprocated, saying that government will continue to work along with the indigenous body as both sides recognise the work of each other in furthering the development of the nation’s first people over the past three years.
The officials shared their views on Wednesday afternoon at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre at Liliendaal following the elections of the new executive of the NTC. Fredericks was elected chairman unopposed as the 20-member executive appeared to have settled on his sole nomination when the elections commenced. The vice-chair position was eventually won by Paul Pierre, the former Regional Chairman of Region One (Barima/Waini) who served under the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) government in that portfolio.
