Responding to a question from news reporters yesterday at the Abuja Airport on what he would do on his first day in office, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial candidate for Anambra State, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu, outlined a clear plan of immediate action and reform.
According to him, “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.
He added that he would then sign his 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.
Mr. Nwosu 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 archtecture and especially enhance human intelligence (humint) at the local levels to ensure the safety of lives and property.
In addition, he said, “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.”
Nwosu emphasized that, having pledged to serve for only four years, his government would hit the ground running from day one, focusing on quick-impact initiatives and low hanging fruits that will deliver real and tangible change.
He assured Ndi Anambra that his administration would mark the beginning of a new chapter of purposeful, adaptive, transformative, accountable, and result-oriented governance. “We intend to be very accessible at all levels. That is the essence of public service.”
