“I urge you to face your appointments with hard work and dedication, and I hope the zeal I noticed in you will be far better with this appointment. It is my prayer that the confidence reposed in you will not be lost.”
Obidi, who spoke for the appointees, thanked Okowa for considering them worthy to be part of the ‘Stronger Delta’ team.
He said they identified with the governor’s vision for a greater Delta and pledged to partner the SMART Team to enhance governance.
