The Plateau State Government on Tuesday pledged to construct more roads across the state to enhance the movement of residents, goods and services.
The Commissioner for Works, Mr Adams Leshak, made the pledge during the handing over ceremony held at the State Ministry of Works in Jos.
Leshak, who stated his commitment to deliver on his mandate in line with the expectations of the state government, assured the people of Plateau that they would see more road constructions across the state.
“First of all, I wish to thank God and Gov. Caleb Mutfwang for this opportunity given me to serve the people of Plateau in this capacity, which I am sure will be a blessing to all.
“I want to inform you that the vision and mission of the works ministry, read here by the permanent secretary, are quite close to the objectives of our governor.
“This is because the governor has said that he wants to see value for every money spent.
“Of course, this is a functional ministry, that is professionally inclined, whereby the engineers are being assessed at their professional level with every job given to them to execute.
“As the governor expects much from us, we should all try our best to be transparent, dutiful, effective, efficient and economical in the utilization of the resources at our disposal as a ministry” he advised.
Also, the permanent secretary urged the ministry’s directors and all members of staff to give the commissioner the maximum cooperation and support for him to succeed in the tasks before him.
“This is a professional ministry, and with you as a professional accountant, I am confident you are up to the task as God in His infinite mercy will see you through.
“We the professionals are going to give you the maximum cooperation so that you can discharge your mandate by making an impact and adding value to the ministry and the entire state,” he said.
