Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has charged newly sworn-in commissioners to cultivate the culture of team work by mobilising staff in their respective ministries to ensure higher productivity and promotion of the interest of the State.
\nFubara, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Boniface Onyedi, gave the charge when he swore-in five new commissioners at the Executive Chamber of Government House in Port Harcourt, last Friday.
\nThe sworn-in Commissioners with their portfolios are Dr. Gift Worlu, Commissioner for Housing; Engr. Austin Ben Chioma, Commissioner for Environment; Prince Isaac Umejuru, Commissioner for Physical Planning & Urban Development; Mr. Joseph Johnson, Commissioner for Information & Communications, and Mr. Victor Kii – Commissioner for Agriculture.
\nFubara said to deliver his electioneering promises, he needs capable and competent people on board to create a greater Rivers State, adding that the commissioners were chosen to contribute their best to achieve that goal.
\nAccording to the governor, \u201cWe have in our midst today very capable people who are going to add value to our system. Some of you might have been nominated from your local government after deliberations but here, you are not representing your local governments, you are working for the State.
\n\u201cThe task is to deliver for the State. Your loyalty is to the State because if you don\u2019t do that, when you leave, whether you like it or not, the records will be there to show what you did while you served as a commissioner.
\n\u201cSo, I charge you to leave your local issues and focus on promoting the interest of our State. That is the only way the theme that we all agreed on, consolidation and continuity, can be felt in our State.\u201d
\nThe governor advised them against administering their assigned ministries as sole administrators but to work as team leaders galvanising the permanent secretaries, directors and other levels of staff to achieve given task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
