Bello swears in commissioners, special advisers

Kogi approves construction, reticulation of Osara water scheme

Barely 48 hours after being sworn in for a second term, Governor Yahaya Bello has ordered the newly appointed commissioners to always make themselves accessible to the people as they would be accountable in their dealings. Speaking on Wednesday at the Lugard House while swearing in the commissioners, Bello also announced appointment of 30 new special advisers and their portfolios.

“Reach out, be accessible, approachable and serve the people with humility,” he said. The governor also told the 17 newly appointed commissioners that human capital development was one of the main thematic areas of the ‘New Direction Administration’ and must be respected to the letter.

“Every commissioner as well as all Ministry, Department and Agencies (MDA) must operate an open door policy and make themselves available to the people because human capital development would form the nucleus this administration,” he said.
