PRESIDENT LAUNCHES OFFICE CORPORATE WEAR

14/03/2013

 The President His Excellency Ratu Epeli Nailatikau today launched the corporate uniform for staff of the Office of the President.

As someone who has worn a uniform for most part of his life – the President, a former Commander of the Fiji Military Forces having first enlisted in 1962 – also took the opportunity to share his experiences with his staff.

The President said a uniform provides identity. It distinguishes a person, a group and an organization from others. With this identity comes a great sense of responsibility - a responsibility to do good to society and to perform to the best of one’s ability.

“Wear the uniform with pride and responsibility,” he said.

Acting Official Secretary to the President, Pene Nonu Baleinabuli, said the new corporate uniform brought a greater sense of unity and commitment amongst the staff to serve the President with honesty and diligence.

He said the uniform is in-line with Government’s overarching reform objectives.

“The uniform is part of several other initiatives that the Office of the President has embarked on to raise the standard of services towards His Excellency the President and through him, to the people of Fiji.”

This is the first time the Office of the President has developed a corporate uniform.

The uniform consists of a three-piece suit for both the men and women. It comes in five different colours with the Coat of Arms and the “Office of the President” embroidered on the left-breast of the coats of the men’s shirts and ladies tops.
