He further urged the new appointees to add value to the state executive council by contributing ideas that would promote good governance.
“Governance is about the provision of quality and people-oriented services. It is about improving people’s quality of life.
“This administration remains focused and deeply determined to deliver on its responsibility.
“As a government, we are poised to justify the support we are receiving from our people,” he stated.
