Addis Ababa: Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said we will consolidate building a better Ethiopia by turning our blessings into tangible resources.
While inaugurating Chebera Elephant Paw Lodge today, the premier noted that Ethiopia is a country endowed with many blessings, and Konta Zone where the lodge is found is a perfect display of natural wealth.
According to him, we should strongly desire and understand three things to transform Ethiopia to a higher level; and those are seeing, acting, and maintaining prosperity.
He explained that the richness of vision is to look properly at what is in front of us and realize that there is a better opportunity in it.
The premier said a person who is not lucky enough to see prosperity may consider the wealth next as debt. He also pointed out that if we cannot see the blessings given to us, others may see and take them away.
PM Abiy stated that many have not been fortunate enough to see their wealth because of lack of seeing their prosperity and their wealth have been tak
en and exploited by others.
However, the ability to know the wealth around us alone does not bring results, he stated, adding that it is important to work hard for full utilization of the resources.
For this to happen, it is necessary to avoid corruption and cleanse the heart from evil thinking and deeds, the PM noted.
Beyond seeing and toiling, he also said protecting and sustaining prosperity are necessary.
The premier added that protecting and sustaining history are important as showing kindness and hospitality of the Ethiopian people to tourists as well as giving protection to them.
