The Ministry of Forestry made a special trip back to Korovuto Village in the district of Sikituru in Nadi to visit Avenisa Namotu.
The 66 year-old villager has been sitting on a goldmine with his sandalwood trees without realizing it.
It wasn’t until the Minister of Forestry, Osea Naiqamu requested our sandalwood tree expert Maika Lesubula visit Namotu that he finally realised that the 5 sandalwood trees he purchased 8 years ago for $5 is worth more than he can imagine provided he tends to it and houses them properly in a nursery.
