April 9, 2026
The community of Nananu was recently honored by a visit from the iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB) led by CEO Mr. Solomone Nata, who marked the formal handing over of catering equipment to the women of the village to support their growing catering business.
The equipment was presented in appreciation of the community’s valuable assistance in providing catering services during the TLTB Senior Management Meeting held in the village in February this year.
This meeting was significant as it was the very first TLTB Management Meeting convened in the district of Namena, highlighting the Board’s commitment to engaging directly with landowners at the grassroots level.
The initiative was intended to acknowledge their support and dedication, with the hope that the equipment will assist them in their everyday catering business and further strengthen their income-generating efforts.
In his address, Mr. Nata acknowledged the dedication and hospitality shown by the Nananu community. He emphasized that the Board’s gesture was not only a token of appreciation but also an investment in strengthening economic opportunities within the village.
Mr. Nata said the Board’s new strategic direction, which focuses on empowering iTaukei landowners to achieve maximum yield from the use of their land.
He added that land remains the most valuable asset for the iTaukei people, and the Board is committed to ensuring that landowners benefit fully from its potential through proper utilization, improved leasing arrangements, and collaborative partnerships.
