Brief remarks were delivered by Chairman of the Board, Mr. Jonathan Bass; Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Adeola Moore; and Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, and Urban Development, the Honourable Marsha T. Henderson, accompanied by her Permanent Secretary, Ms. Tivanna Wharton. Members of the Board of Directors, senior management, SCASPA staff, and Mr. Tyrell’s family were also in attendance to commemorate the occasion.

Pastor Jaheme Vantura-Warner led a blessing of the newly dedicated white 5th Wheel truck, seeking divine protection and success for its future operations. Alongside the featured vehicle, SCASPA unveiled a second (red) 5th Wheel truck, a fleet of new forklifts, and a state-of-the-art tire machine to enhance the Mechanics Department’s capabilities and ensure the Authority remains at the forefront of service excellence.

This significant investment highlights SCASPA’s continued commitment to operational advancement, staff empowerment, and honouring the legacies of those who have helped shape its path toward sustainable development.
