Challenges in the new decade

AS the year and decade come to a close, we thank the Almighty for His many blessings. At the same time, we pray for riddance from the strong turbulence buffeting our nation’s political, legal, social and economic shores.

Some of the problems that are lapping at our feet are rooted in the past; some (like Covid-19) are global and extraterritorial in nature. Whatever their origin, it is for us to tackle the challenges with courage and imagination.
