Ali Proud Of His Work At iTaukei Office

In the midst of all iTaukei staff, a young man, clad in suluvakat­aga, neatly tucked shirt and hair perfectly brushed made his way into the office.

Irfan Ali, the Treasurer for the Bua Provincial Office based at the majestic Naulumatua house, in Na­bouwalu, Bua, is the the only Fijian with Indian descendant employed by the iTaukei Affairs for the prov­ince of Bua.

Mr Ali, 32 was born and raised in Labasa. He considered himself as a Kai Macuata and was very proud of it.

He was educated at Labasa Muslim College before attaining his Bach­elors degree in Accounting and In­formation system from the Univer­sity of the South Pacific.

He had spent over eight years at the Provincial Office.

“I enjoy working here because of the relaxed environment despite the complexity of work that I do,” he said.

“I am basically in charge of all the accounting system of the Provin­cial office, and I enjoy what I do.”

Mr Ali further stated that a feat he achieved while at the Provincial of­fice was the backlog reconciliation which he was the first to update out of the 14 provinces in the country.

Mr Ali summed up his story by say­ing that one thing he enjoyed most about being part of the iTaukei Af­fairs family was the opportunity to learn more about Fijian traditions and customs from his colleagues.
