Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. John Nwosu, has promised to hit the ground running from first day in office if he wins the November 8, Governorship poll in Anambra State.
He stated this while responding to a question from reporters at the Abuja Airport over the weekend, saying that his government will focus on quick-impact initiatives and low hanging fruits that will deliver real and tangible change
Nwosu who outlined a clear plan of immediate action and reform said: "My first day will begin with an Executive Briefing involving key Permanent Secretaries and Heads of critical Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) to get firsthand reports on the true state of government operations and finances.
"This, of course, will be an adjunct to the report and assessment of my Transition Committee that would have worked, I hope cordially with the representatives of the outgoing administration.
"I would then sign my prioritized First-Day Executive Orders, starting with security, transparency, and accountability, to set the tone for a new era of adaptive, responsive, and people-driven leadership.
"We intend to be very accessible at all levels. That is the essence of public service."
The ADC flag bearer further revealed that he intends to immediately reconstitute the State Security Trust Fund Committee, bringing in both retired and serving senior security officers with comparative experience, to strengthen the state security architecture and especially enhance human intelligence (humint) at the local levels to ensure the safety of lives and property.
He added: "I intend to set up a committee to review the civil service remuneration and retraining programme, thus aligning it with my administration’s e-Government policy that will ensure transparency and efficiency."
