He also admonished them against abusing their respective offices, saying "Public service work place is not a place to solely make money but a platform to serve your people and build an incredible track record that speaks in your absence and could deliver value you want to create on the long run for yourself and generation unborn".


The guest speaker who was full of commendations for the Commissioner for Lands, Prof Offornze Amucheazi, SAN for his transformational leadership which aligned perfectly with the vision of Anambra State Ministry of Lands, charged them to always endeavor to work in manners that would help the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, in driving his agenda of achieving and sustaining a liveable and prosperous society.


Mr Fowowe, while adding that the commissioner has shown intentional commitment to making Anambra State Ministry of Lands number one and a reference point for other States in Nigeria in terms of progressive land administration, encouraged the staff to always have the vision statement of the ministry in their mind as well as collaborate with the commissioner in achieving the ministry's set objectives for the good of the State as land resources have universal usage.


In their separate remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Barr. Nkiru Mokwe and the commissioner for Lands, Prof. Amucheazi, thanked the guest speaker for the impactful training session and enjoined members of staff to have result-oriented attitude to their duties for posterity sake.
