While stating that the team is laying the foundation for a livable and prosperous homeland, the governor emphasised that the oath of office defines the purpose of public service: to give something beyond oneself, to be part of the solution team, and that there is only one single purpose, which is to lay the foundation for a livable and prosperous homeland.
He reminded the new commissioner that his ministry is only one department, but beyond that, he has a larger responsibility and that the oath of office does not specify which ministry but a public office with integrity.
In a vote of thanks, the newly appointed Commissioner for Finance, Okafor, appreciated the Governor for finding him worthy to serve.
He assured the Governor, members of ANSEC, and ndi Anambra that he would serve the state diligently with all his strength, talents, and resources.
