Newly redeployed Commissioner for Information, Enugu State, Dr Malachy Agbo, has charged the ministry’s staff members to redouble their efforts in ensuring that the public is informed professionally, promptly, and effectively about the numerous programmes and activities of the state government aimed at delivering good governance to the people.
In his maiden meeting with the management and staff of the Ministry, Agbo emphasized that his posting was to enhance public awareness, enlightenment, and understanding of the numerous interventions of the state government across various sectors; programmes intentionally designed to improve the living standards of Ndi Enugu (Enugu residents) under the leadership of Governor Peter Mbah.
“The Enugu State Government, led by Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, is doing a lot to improve the lot of Ndi Enugu. Therefore, it is our duty to ensure that the people of the state are inundated with good governance news. We must disseminate information across all channels, engage the public, and ensure that facts are not distorted by mischief makers.
“Everyone in this team has experience and strengths that will enable us to deliver on our mandate. We should strive to leverage our collective strengths to inform the public and set the records straight at all times,” he stated.
Agbo also pledged to address areas hindering the Ministry’s optimum performance through careful scrutiny and reassignment of duties, where necessary, to harness the full capacity of staff members towards achieving greater goals.
He thanked the Governor for finding him worthy to serve in the capacity and reiterated his commitment to working with everyone in the Ministry as a team to ensure the timely delivery of accurate information to people of the state.
The meeting was interactive, and the Commissioner urged the staff to remain resilient, dedicated, and united in the discharge of their responsibilities.
Responding on behalf of the management and staff of the Ministry, the Head of Department (HOD), Administration and Supplies, Mrs. Ugochukwu Adimora, pledged their support to the Commissioner in achieving the administration’s goals of keeping the public informed about the state government’s policies and programmes in a timely and accurate manner.
