Seeing off the Venezuelan national team heading for the 9th Medellin-2010 (Colombia) South American Games at his Miraflores Palace, President Chavez said under his administration, poverty levels in Venezuela were headed for zero per cent. He said eradicating poverty remained the top priority of his government. “There will be no poverty in Venezuela…that is one of my utmost pledges,” he said, according to the Venezuelan news agency ABN. “The progress achieved since my taking office in 1999 allow envisaging good results in the eradication of poverty.” He said back in 1996 poverty affected 70 per cent of the population and extreme poverty affected 40 per cent. “But in 2009 those figures dropped to 23.8 per cent and 5.9 per cent respectively and are heading to zero,” President Chavez said. He said poverty must be eliminated and that that barrier to development would be overcome. The leftist leader said the battle for this year was energy saving following a severe drought. President Chavez said the executive would do all it could to overcome electricity deficit. Low water levels in dams compound Venezuela's situation. Although Venezuelan is a petroleum giant, it chiefly relies on hydroelectric power generation. President Chavez asked the nation to save power and stressed the importance of replacing 50 million incandescent light bulbs this year. He said Venezuela would incorporate some 5,900 megawatts to the national power grid this year. » More from World News<http://www.postzambia.com/post-view_articles.php?topicName=World News> » Homepage <http://www.postzambia.com/> -- www.businessarchitecture.com : The Business Architecture is a multimedia magazine published and produced by Sbu Consultants cc.
