Congratulations Brandon Potter! We need you back here in Antigua and Barbuda to manage our Port. It is time for a native born of the soil to take full management of our Port. I am proud of you young man. Bring everything you learned and implement and execute a proper management system and policies for our Port that would benefit our country and its people.
