The Governor of Delta,
Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has attributed his administration’s success in the
delivery of people-oriented programmes to his adoption of participatory
governance.
He stated this on Thursday in Asaba while swearing in
Mr Mofe Pirah as a member of the State Executive Council.
Okowa
said that his administration operated open-door policy, which allowed Deltans
from all walks of life to contribute to decision-making process in the state.
"I
believe in a participatory government in which Deltans, from opinion leaders,
youths, traditional rulers and the women, are all represented and partner us as
a government to achieve set goals of building a stronger state.
"Our
administration's goal is to develop the people and develop infrastructure to
create an enabling environment for the private sector to grow.
``We
are determined to reduce unemployment rate and develop every sector of the
state.
``Every
political appointee must key into our programmes and relate freely with the
people because, achieving a stronger Delta will be beneficial to all," he
said.
The
governor charged the newly sworn-in Commissioner to be ready and willing to
serve Deltans.
"You
have a role to play in helping this administration to achieve its goals and it
is my hope that you will use your position to work for the benefit of Deltans
and the state in general.
"You
were part of my cabinet in the first tenure; you already know the policies and
it is my belief that you will do your best to help us attain our dream by
working diligently in this new tenure," he said.
Responding,
Pirah thanked the governor for giving him the opportunity to serve Deltans and
assured him of his commitment to work for the achievement of a stronger Delta.
