The Rivers State Commissioner for Water Resources and Rural Development, Dr. Tamunosisi Gogo Jaja, has restated the ministry’s commitment to ensure quality drinking water for Rivers people.
Dr Gogo Jaja, who said this in his maiden meeting with staff of the ministry, urged them to brace up for the challenges ahead.
He said, the policy trust of the Administration in the provision of water cannot be successful without the impacts of staff of the ministry.
According to him, it is their responsibility to formulate policies that will make the ministry not only viable, but ensure the realization of the goal of the government’s new Vision progrmame for the state.
Gogo Jaja said, while the government is doing its best to render social services to the people those challenged with formulating policies must help the Governor to achieve it.
“The Governor is committed to the development of our people, you can see what he is doing in every sector,” he said.
While warning them to be regular at work, the said commissioner appropriate punishment will be meted out to those who absent themselves from work without reasonable excuses.
He also warned against indolence, stressing that the situation at hand requires total commitment and positive attitude towards their work.
Earlier, the Director, Water Supply and Quality Control, Engr. Emmanuel Amatemeso said the meeting was necessary as it would address issues that will take the ministry to a higher level.
