The governor also promised to give room for illiterates in his government. According to him, 25% will be given to the illiterates in his further appointments.

“The illiterates will get 25% because it is from them we get the votes. Though they may not have the certificates, but there is nothing wrong with us keeping them in one board for them to have recognition,” he said.

The Governor warned the new Commissioners not to flex muscles with permanent secretaries and Directors in the course of discharging their duties, urging them to see the opportunity as a divine grace.
