In his feature address, Prime Minister Rowley said “This is yet another piece of infrastructure invested in by the people of Trinidad and Tobago, the taxpayers of Trinidad and Tobago to ensure that the people of Point Fortin continue to be a beacon and a bright light.
Dr Rowley also took the opportunity to call on corporate Trinidad, especially those in the southwest peninsula to ensure that their involvement continues to contribute to the unearthing of talents from Trinidad and Tobago.
