MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE BIDS HAPPY RETIREMENT AND FAREWELL TO MISS ANNELL NICHOLAS

On Saturday, February 8th management and staff of the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries and the Blue Economy (MoA) gathered together to wish a long, faithful and hard worker, Miss Annell Nicholas, farewell and happy retirement.  Miss Nicholas served over forty-four unbroken years in the government service, during that time she served in several positions and ministries the last of which was as one of the Principal Assistant Secretary at the ministry of agriculture.  During her tenure at the MoA she also served several times as the Permanent Secretary.

Happy retirement wishes were extended from her family, many of the coworkers and permanent secretaries she encountered along this significant milestone.  Although, unfortunately for the civil service but fortunately for Miss Nicholas, she has served her country well and leaving behind closed doors to that chapter and on to the new one.  According to her those who were fortunate to be over sixty (60) are on their last bend of life.  They should be thankful, looking forward to embrace, and enjoy their retirement in ways that they want or chose. She left with us a legacy of fairness, honesty and exemplary team spirit which many consider are impeccable qualities a role model should have.  Miss Nicholas was a diligent and a hard worker who will be missed by many.
