    He said their selection was carefully made based on their integrity, capacity, loyalty and pedigree.

    According to him, the work ahead is enormous and the task is clear, which required them to work hard.

    “We are the eyes of the people, and they look up to us for solutions.

    “Our administration is committed to addressing the economic challenges facing our people.

    “ I charge you to come up with innovative contributions to help alleviate these challenges,” he said.
