Governor Fubara said after swearing them in: “We 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.
“The task is to deliver for the State. Your loyalty is to the State because if you don’t 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.
“So, 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.”
The Governor further advised them against administering their assigned ministries as sole administrators, saying they should team up with other members of the ministries to achieve given task.
