The newly-appointed Enugu state commissioner for land and urban development, Engr. Prince Lawrence Ezeh resumed his duty post on Friday, promising to work assiduously to ensure that the State attains more excellent economic stability.
The commissioner, who arrived at the ministry, was ushered in by the entire staff, who were visibly cheerful and delighted as they expressed their desire to cooperate with him.
He was immediately escorted into the building by the Permanent Secretary, Rev. Sr. Josephine Aniagolu, and other directors.
At a meeting with the staff shortly after his resumption, the commissioner challenged the staff of the ministry to perform their duties selflessly with integrity and to see their work as service to the state.
“With the governor’s marching order to expand the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), I urge you to work hard to exceed the target. That is one way to justify the confidence that he reposed in all of you.
“In line with governor’s vision, the state must generate revenue that can settle workers’ salaries without waiting for the monthly Federal Allocation, His Excellency the Governor has directed all the revenue-generating agencies to prioritise the compelling need to have more revenue for the state to ensure the state’s overall economic growth.”
He charged them to deliberate on strategies to shore up the IGR from the ministry by leveraging on the governor’s planned digitalization of the ministry to stimulate the economy and good governance in the state.
He promised to operate a smooth land administration system that is people-friendly and capable of enhancing and promoting the socio-economic growth of the state.
