PRIME Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama will visit Rabi to officially launch the youth festival held on the island today.

He is accompanied by a team of government officials from Suva and the Northern Division.

Commissioner Northern Lieutenant Colonel Ilai Moceica said the team would also visit Kioa Island to address villagers on Government's development plans and how it would impact on the islanders' lives.

"This is an official visit to the two neigbouring islands and we hope villagers will make use of it. "People can also raise concerns on their various walks of life and they can ask Government to assist them," Lt Col Moceica said.

Banaban Women's Organisation president Terikano Takesau said they would showcase handicrafts and products made by the women of Rabi to promote their skills and talents.

"This is an opportunity to showcase our potential and talents to the Prime Minister so whenever we seek assistance from government, at least they know what we are requesting for.

"This is one of the ways to bring to light the potential and skills women of Rabi have," she said.

The government team returns on Thursday.
