Performing the all-important ceremony in his office at the council headquarters Ukpo yesterday, the TC chairman charged the newly inaugurated ward councilors to take the message of disruptive change to the grassroots in order to improve the living conditions of the rural populace.
Onyemaobi said their appointments were not for celebrations or merriments but a call to service in order to achieve the objectives of the solution team which he said was to take democratic governance to those in the hinterlands, adding that the livable and prosperous homeland being championed by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo were their respective wards where the transformations would begin.
He, therefore, charged the councilors to go to their various wards and commence work. He was optimistic that the solution team of the local government would make a remarkable change especially as he described the crop of councilors inaugurated as assets to the council area while admonishing them to be diligent, resourceful and humane in their service to the people.
