He challenged the commissioners to see leadership as the opportunity to improve the lives and conditions of those who needed it most.
His words: “Through your selection and subsequent appointment, you have been presented with a rare opportunity to lead and serve the people who expect so much from you in terms of performance.
“You have been designated because you are qualified and possess the right experience to make a positive difference in our dear state.
“This is the ideal that motivates our administration and why we have employed the services of professionals, experienced individuals who share the same vision and passion for the development of the state.
“This is a very important period in the history of our dear state. Some have insinuated the appointment of members of the State Executive Council is late.
“Nevertheless, to procure the very best, that is, game-changers who believe in our all-hands-on-deck-approach, team players who will make an impact, one must consult widely,” he said.
