The governor who submitted that the job before him was daunting, maintained that the process of appointing anyone into his cabinet would be 'all-inclusive'.
According to him, "more rooms will be created for people to serve. And the right people will be placed in right places to drive the system accordingly. This project is for all of us and we are going to operate an open door policy like before. There is going to be room for constructive criticism.
"The responsibility ahead is daunting and not going to be easy because of the economic downturn. So, we are going to hit ground and run. We must be able to demonstrate how we will continue in 2019.
"We must be able to record unprecedented achievements through creation of a virile civil service among others.
