Wada stated this yesterday in Lokoja while swearing in the new commissioners.
The governor, who said the commissioners should consider their appointment as a call to duty and service to humanity, charged the second term commissioners to re-dedicate themselves to do more for the state.
He said the transformation agenda of the present administration was premised on four cardinal points, namely, free education, agriculture, health and infrastructure development, and urged the commissioners to imbibe the spirit of accountability, probity, transparency and hard work to ensure the realisation of the agenda for the betterment of the people.
He added that the state government would create a Ministry of Transport to serve as the vehicle through which the transformation would be achieved for the people.
He, therefore, charged the commissioners to be role models as well as agents of change, saying that their ability to carry people along would go a long way in enhancing their performance.
One of the new appointees, Hajiya Zainab Suleiman Okino, hitherto Executive Editor of Blueprint, was made the Commissioner for Information.
