During Wednesday’s 126th State Executive Council meeting, Governor Diri issued this directive, emphasizing the importance of thoroughness in the handover notes to ensure a seamless transition into his second term.
This decision implies that many of the council members may not retain their positions in the upcoming term.
Diri acknowledged that the accomplishments achieved by his administration in the first term were a collective effort, not solely attributed to himself or his deputy. He urged the council members to continue contributing their utmost until the end of the term.
“I want to commend you for the selfless service you have rendered in the last four years and as you prepare your notes, dot the i’s and cross the t’s. So, for future purposes, those who will take over or even if you are continuing, you will be guided,” Daily Trust quoted Diri saying.
