At last, Kaduna State Governor, Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa yesterday swore-in commissioners and sole administrators of development areas. Charging them to be pivotal of peace and development, Yakowa said,
“The main action you are expected to perform is to ensure peace and security in your respective areas for harmonious co-existence. With the swearing-in of the newly appointed members of the state executive council and the development area administrators, the structure of government is now set for an effective take-off. All the appointments that have so far been made were based on merit.
The appointees have now come on board to help this administration effectively deliver democracy dividends to citizens. The expectations for effective delivery in terms of development of our state by the citizens are high. Meeting these expectations would have to go side by side with the enhancement of our internally generated revenue in the state.
The revenue base is there and what remains is harnessing the base. This is one major area, apart from peace and security, which we have to collectively face with dexterity in the next four years.”
