He gives assurance that the present administration will not relent in the efforts it is making by constructing rural roads, health and school facilities, electrification, water supply and provision of other critical infrastructure in various communities of the state.
Governor Ortom once more returns glory to Almighty God for giving him the grace to lead the state and for providing his administration with the wisdom and capacity to confront security and economic challenges.
He appreciates the entire people of the state, particularly workers for their understanding and the cordial relationship between the government and labour unions.
Governor Ortom pledges to sustain the payment of regular salaries while the state sources funds to clear the arrears.
He prays that this year’s Christmas celebration may strengthen the faith of the people in God and make the society a better place.
