Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah has tasked his newly appointed commissioners to work towards common goal of poverty eradication in the state.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony on Thursday, Dr Mbah maintained that all new Commissioners must go along with vision of his administration, which is focussed on alleviating the suffering of the masses.
“We expressed a massive vision that would see us growing our economy exponentially. We also promised our people to eradicate poverty and want to make Enugu State the premier destination for investment.
“Those are laudable and lofty ideas. But when we made those promises, we needed a team that will convey our people from where we are today to that destination we want to take them to.
“For this reason, the process that resulted in your selection was quite rigorous and detailed.
“So, I want to congratulate all of you for at least making it on this list. In about 100 days from now, Enugu people want to turn their taps and see water flowing from those taps as we promised them,” Mbah said.
“We are also making sure that you acquire those new skills that we need to fix the challenges of breaking new grounds of economic development and growth.
“So, your selection was largely driven by your track records, your experience, your background and it’s our hope that you are going to bring those experiences to bear and to work for the people of Enugu State.
“In this journey of greatness, growth and development, I look forward to working with you all to actualisae the Enugu State of our dreams, together,” the governor said.
