Addressing the chairmen, Fintiri stressed the need for dedication to grassroots development and accountable leadership.
“We just have to buckle up, put more energy, time, and dedication to ensure that we do what is right and what is needed by our people,” the governor stated.
“We didn’t come here for show off… We have come here to serve our people, and we have to do it with the fear of God and the full responsibility that comes with the office.”
He said his planned state-wide tour would focus on assessing development efforts across all 21 local government areas and identifying areas for improvement.
“We will go take the assessment, take the needs of our people, write on the spot, and see what we can still do for them to fill in the gap,” the governor added.
