The APUA has pledged to put systems in place that would more closely monitor the communities which are supplied or deprived of water. Several men and women were employed and trained to open and close the valves which supply\u00a0or divert\u00a0water to\u00a0and from\u00a0different communities.

The annual Independence Food Fair and the cricket match attracted thousands, attesting to the strong economic recovery. It is estimated that the economy will expand by more than 7% in 2022 and continue to create hundreds of new jobs each week. The Cabinet also noted strong participation at the several Independence calendar events to include the Youth Rally,\u00a0the\u00a0Church Service, National Flag Day, Youth Panorama and National Dress\u00a0Day, displaying a high sense of patriotism and support for the government.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>i.<strong>The Prime Minister Reported meeting with several Nigerian officials who arrived on Antigua Airways flight on Independence Day<\/strong>.
