THE Northern Regional Minister, Mr Moses Mabingba has underscored the need for workers in the region to approach their duties diligently and in a bi-partisan manner for the accelerated development of the area.
He also asked upon them to exhibit a high sense of professionalism and neutrality in the discharge of their duties, and entreated the chiefs and people of the region to foster unity and togetherness at all times as efforts were being made by the government to better their lot.
“The proper development of the Northern Region is the collective responsibility of all; it is in this regard that we appeal to you to co-operate and support this administration to deliver on the government’s “Better Ghana agenda,” the minister stated.
Addressing heads of department in Tamale, Mr Mabingba mentioned absenteeism and lateness to work as some of the reasons responsible for the area’s low level of development, and called for immediate change of attitude.
He described himself as a team player who welcomed everybody on board to fast track the region’s development agenda, but warned that laziness, complacency and treachery would not to be tolerated.
The minister reiterated the government’s commitment to provide affordable accommodation to employees in the region.
He, therefore, appealed to workers, who were either posted or transferred to the area not to hesitate in accepting to work in the region.
According to Mr Mabingba, the people in the region were very warm and accommodating of visitors, and described the current security situation in the area as peaceful and conducive.
Some of the concerns raised at the maiden meeting with the minister included inadequate accommodation, logistics and under-staffing.
The departmental heads, however, expressed their preparedness to support and co-operate with the Regional Co-ordinating Council (RCC) for the smooth administration of the area.
Mr Mabingba officially took over office from Mr Stephen Nayina recently. Until his appointment, he served as the deputy Northern Regional Minister.
