Ankama said that this practice poses a negative impact on the town\u2019s job and wealth creation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy, locally acclaimed as the coolest Minister as he was donned in All Stars sneakers at the event, urged the fishing industries and individuals \u201cto enhance their skills into economic diversification and productivity. You must venture into such challenging enterprises to make a breakthrough,\u201d said the deputy minister.\u00a0He further noted there are a number of external factors that impact on the cost of doing business in L\u00fcderitz, namely, fuel prices and electricity costs, among others. Ankama emphasized that L\u00fcderitz is blessed with marine resources that bring wealth and job creation to the entire Namibian nation and to locals in particular. The fisheries ministry\u2019s support through the fisheries quota has made significant economic contributions towards the L\u00fcderitz crayfish festival since its inception in 2008, he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the same occasion, the Mayor of L\u00fcderitz, Her Worship Suzan Ndjaleka said that L\u00fcderitz is endowed with natural resources and has great potential for investment, therefore \u201cthe Council is hard at work and in cooperation with other government institutions and parastatals, as well as private partners to upgrade the town in terms of infrastructural development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour presence at our festival just affirms that we are not competitors but partners, with the fundamental motivation of promoting the consumption of fish amongst the Namibian nation,\u201d Ndjaleka stated.\u00a0She explained that L\u00fcderitz is blossoming with great investment opportunities, and the festival is part of the annual strategies to display to the world the investment advantages the town has. Ndjaleka also took time to walk her guests through the exhibitions to interact and satisfy their taste buds with delicious seafood samples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe would like to see that quotas allocated along the L\u00fcderitz waters no longer be processed in Walvis Bay, but instead in L\u00fcderitz.\u201d These were the words of Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Chief Samuel Ankama, during his keynote address at the official opening of the 2015 L\u00fcderitz Crayfish Festival.
