Do not see it as an authority to deviate from what you have been doing. To whom much is given, much is expected. As the saying goes the reward for good work is more work so much is expected of you”.
Hon. Ekumankama went further to advise him to work in harmony and cordiality with all stakeholders regardless of the challenges faced. “Do not forget the enormous responsibilities and expectations of the office. I trust that you would justify the confidence reposed in you by the Ministry of Health and Mr. President by leaving your mark of progress at the Council”.
Dr. Erhabor who was grateful for his reappointment, assured the Minister that he would continue to improve on his previous achievements and what he met on ground. He stated that his reappointment would give him a new road map to sail in the next four years. “I will work earnestly to assure the Ministry and the Presidency that deemed it fit to reappoint me today that they did the right thing”.
