He also assured the chiefs of openness in his administration and urged the traditional rulers to feel free to contact him anytime of the day so that collectively, they could work towards addressing the development challenges of the region.
"With the support of my deputy and your support, we will overcome our major challenges and achieve the targets for which we have been sent here"
At the Sandema palace where he was received by Baba Azagsuk Azantilow, the regional minister in response to a request for the establishment of a college of education at Builsa as part of government's overall vision of creating new colleges of education, said the issue would have to be thoroughly discussed with all stakeholders to arrive at an acceptable decision.
The regional minister said he was ready to work with all in the region adding that "even if my tenure in this region is just for a day,I will want to make a loud noise and impact so that one day, people will say during my reign, the region experienced the best of development"
He tasked all municipal and district chief executives to submit to his office a list of at least five key campaign promises made by the President during his campaign to allow for prioritisation and effective roll out by the regional co-ordinating council towards the improvement of the livelihoods of the people. -
