Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has tasked the state commissioners-designate to go against the old order by evolving new ways of conducting the affairs of the state.
The governor made the charge on Tuesday during his opening remarks at a retreat organised for members-designate of the State Executive Council.
Mr Buni, therefore, tasked members of the State Executive Council, to roll up their sleeves, stressing that they have to regularly think out of the box and try to do things a little differently.
“You should know that our administration would seek to steer clear of doing business-as-usual. Instead, we would consistently seek to adopt novel and effective ways of delivering service to the people.

“At all times, I would expect you to be guided and to abide by the values that we all believe in – honesty, dedication, a sense of duty, and a sense of integrity.
“I want you to remember that this administration rode to power on the crest of the support of the people who believed that their votes would translate into practical improvement in their living conditions.
“We must deliver on that. We must make our people proud of the choices they made during the election and even prouder of the administration they have in place in the state.
“As politicians, we should also strengthen people’s confidence in government by keeping our doors open and by maintaining regular contacts with the people at the grassroots.
“I am confident that, together, we would write a new chapter in the development of our state by working harder than ever to justify the confidence that the people have reposed in us,” the governor stressed.
