Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Wednesday, said the nation was experiencing times which requires innovative and creative thinking by governments at all levels to provide good governance for the people.

The new Commissioners are Barr. Val Arenyeka - Agriculture and Natural Resources; Hon. Peter Uviejitobor - Oil and Gas; Barr. Thankgod Trakiriowei - Youth Development; Hon.

"Staying afloat in a turbulent economy demands mental rigour, strategic planning, and creative execution of policies and programmes.

"I urge you all to think outside the box. As leaders you must be resourceful, encourage and welcome new ideas, and be ready to churn out innovative policies and programmes targeted at meeting the real needs and aspirations of our people. You must therefore, guard against nonchalant attitudes and hit the ground running."

The Governor also urged the appointees to acquaint themselves with and observe financial regulations, adding that the administration places high premium on fiscal discipline, probity, and accountability.

"Your conduct must align with these values. Many political appointees have gotten into trouble simply because they did not do this. It is not that they were corrupt or were intent on committing fraud but ignorance of the extant rules and regulations became their undoing.

"As we all know, ignorance is not an excuse in law. So, it is imperative that you educate yourself properly on financial rules and regulations to avoid running foul of the law.

"You must be intentional in your actions and utterances to foster understanding, build team effectiveness, and achieve lasting results."
