Governor Ortom assured the new appointees of support and also urged other members of the state executive council to give them the necessary cooperation in order to succeed in their new assignments.
He advised people of the state against giving political coloration challenges that border on their survival especially the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law of the state.
Responding on behalf of his colleagues, Dr. Bem Melladu, expressed appreciation to the Governor for finding them worthy to serve in his administration and pledged their unalloyed support for the success of the Ortom-led administration.
Those sworn in were Messrs Saawuan Tarnongu, Zaye Mvendaga, Ijigah Okoh, Paul Yaji, Oko Achegbulu, Ali Otakwu and Alhaji Isa Usman.
