“Let me say it loud and clear that anywhere you go now, the Governor’s goodness has become the talk of the day and the people of the state are now happy, go to West, East and Central, the story is the same,” he stated.

Comrade Amari congratulated the Special Adviser on the feat achieved within a relatively short time in office, adding that there was no better time than now to appreciate the Governor and the Special Adviser.

Responding, the Special Adviser on Labour Matters, Comrade Onuh Edoka said he was elated by the kind words on the Governor whom he described as a leader with milk of human kindness.

Comrade Edoka said as a product of Medical and Health, he will strive to remain a good ambassador of the Union which has made him what he is today.

The Special Adviser called on the leadership of the Union to sustain the standard already laid, emphasising that there was no justification to fall below the standard.

He appreciated the Union for recognizing him and promised not to disappoint them, his community, and the state at large.

Highlight of the visit was the presentation of the portrait of the Special Adviser to him.
