Sabgas ‘excited’ by Kamla’s plan

At the recent unveiling of Trinidad and Tobago’s Revitalisation Blueprint, Ansa McAl’s executive chairman, A. Norman Sabga, and his son, group CEO Anthony N. Sabga III, shared their optimism about the government’s ambitious plans. The blueprint, introduced by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, outlines over 100 construction projects aimed at creating more than 50,000 jobs and revitalizing key areas across the country. Sabga described the initiative as ‘huge’ and emphasized the importance of dreaming big to drive national progress. Speaking at the launch of Ansa McAl’s financial results for the year ending September 30, Sabga III echoed his father’s sentiments, calling the government’s vision ‘ambitious’ and ‘colourful.’ He highlighted the group’s commitment to supporting the government’s efforts, noting that Ansa McAl, which will celebrate its 145th anniversary next year, remains apolitical and focused on sustainable development. The blueprint includes projects such as transforming the Port of Spain waterfront, redeveloping Invaders Bay, and converting prisons into cultural centers and luxury resorts. The Sabgas’ matching yellow ties, coincidentally aligned with the ruling United National Congress’s color, sparked curiosity, but Sabga III dismissed any political connotations, emphasizing the group’s neutrality and dedication to economic growth.
