João Lourenço: “We bet on youth, on women, but also on knowledge and science”

At the inauguration ceremony of the new governors, which took place this Wednesday in Luanda, the President of the Republic made a point of highlighting the choice of Adjany Costa as minister, highlighting the tourism sector and the role that he may come to assume as development promoter and revenue generator in the country.

The Head of State addressed the untapped potential in the sector, considering that it can still generate many jobs in the territory. He said that to reverse this situation, he has the capacity of the new portfolio holder, who despite his age has already managed to attract the interest of investors to the area through his projects.

"We bet on youth, on women, but also on knowledge and science," said João Lourenço, quoted by Angop. The President of the Republic thus reiterated his vote of confidence in the biologist, ichthyologist (study of fish) and conservationist Adjany Costa, sworn in as Minister of Culture, Tourism and Environment.

The minister herself - the youngest of the Government and the history of Angola - pointed out as a first challenge the integration of the three sectors that previously constituted autonomous ministerial departments. "They are completely separate universes, but with lines of thought that can be integrated," said Adjany Costa.

The biologist also mentioned that it is time to stop looking at conservation as landscapes, considering that it must be seen in the perspective of the integration of local communities, as a component of tourism.

In one of the ceremonies that took place this morning, ministers João Ernesto dos Santos (National Defense and Veterans of the Fatherland), Téte António (Foreign Affairs), Marcy Cláudio Lopes (Territory Administration), António Francisco de Assis (Agriculture and Fisheries), took office, Victor Francisco dos Santos Fernandes (Industry and Commerce) and Diamantino Pedro Azevedo, (Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas).

Finally, in a third ceremony, it was the turn of State Secretaries José Maria de Lima (National Defense), Afonso Carlos Neto (Military Industry), Domingos André Tchikanha (Veterans of the Fatherland), Laurienda Jacinto Prazeres Monteiro (Territory Administration) and Márcio de Jesus Lopes Daniel (Local Authorities).
