New Minister for Sports

Jack Norris is new Vanuatu Minister for Sport and Youth Development

The Union of Moderate Parties (UMP) MP for Efate Rural, was appointed by Prime Minister Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas in a ceremony at the PM’s office late yesterday afternoon.

Minister Norris replaces Nato Taiwia, who vacated the position, after a court order nullified his election as MP.

One of the most demanding tasks of the new minister is to address the increasing number of unemployed youths.

Prime Minister Tabimasmas said Sports and Youth Development has a very important role to play because it caters for a large portion of Vanuatu’s population.
