New Brong Ahafo Regional Minister takes office

Sunyani (Brong Ahafo) - Nana Kwadwo Seinti, the new Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, has called for good working relationship between the Regional Co-ordinating Council and heads of departments in the Region to ensure the sustainable development of the region.

''The level of unity, co-operation, commitment and dedication with which we embrace and execute our responsibilities will determine our success,'' he said. Nana Seinti was speaking at his maiden meeting with the heads after he had been introduced by Ernest Akubour Debrah, former Regional Minister who is now in-charge of Northern Region.

He said his objective was to build on the gains of his predecessor in pushing the development of the region forward, but noted that, that would, however, depend on the effective and efficient operations of the various departments.

Nana Seinti expressed his readiness to practise open-door policy and called on the heads to approach him as and when necessary with their initiatives and innovations for the well-being of the people.

Nana Seinti urged the heads not to hesitate to point out his shortcomings to him, saying: "If I fail all of you fail, but if I succeed the credit goes to all of you." Debrah expressed appreciation to the heads for their co-operation that, he said, was the bedrock of his successful administration.

He appealed to the heads to accord Nana Seinti even more support and co-operation. Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, Sunyani District Chief Executive, said the region could only be developed if the heads exhibited their commitment and dedication to duty. The two Regional Ministers later held a similar meeting with religious leaders in Sunyani.
