He urged them not to abandon ongoing projects and programmes inherited from the previous government, emphasizing the importance of continuity and avoiding a passive approach in favour of proactive engagement.
“You are expected to take note of certain issues for us to achieve collective success. Projects and programmes you inherited should not be abandoned,” he said.
“I noticed a certain lay back attitude in the continuity of some of our 100 days projects and policies.
“You did not take over ministries and agencies without ongoing programmes. I did not expect any of you to start window shopping instead of pushing ahead with existing programmes,” the Governor added.
Although he is poised to embrace new innovations, he cautioned against replicating the practice of the previous government, which was known for neglecting inherited initiatives.
