Guyana is about to enter the greatest phase of economic development in the country’s history.

We are about to become an oil and gas producing nation.

And, according to Frederick McWilfred, Head of the Political Division at the Ministry of the Presidency, this will result in the availability of unprecedented levels of resources for the development of sports. He made the statements during the closing ceremony of this year’s ‘Nationals’ on Friday night at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
