NIGERIA (Edo)- Mr. Didi Adodo has been sworn in as the new Commissioner for Establishment and Special Duties in Edo State.

The swearing in ceremony was performed by the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole in Benin, the state capital.

In his speech at the ceremony, Oshiomhole said that the commissioner, who was formerly Commissioner for Special Duties (Labour) during his first tenure was reappointed based on his commitment and vision to reposition the state.

“let me welcome back Comrade Didi Adodo to this Executive Council as a Commissioner responsible for Establishment and other Special Duties especially Non-Government Organisations and Civil Societies. I am sure those of us who have worked with him will readily agree with me that we have lost a lot in these few months of his not sitting by us and with us.

“He is a very warm, complete gentleman, rich in humour, absolutely loyal and dedicated and totally committed to our shared vision to reposition this great state and take it to the next level. Didi is one fellow that I can write his testimonial in the sense that we both come from the Trade Union Movement and having him back is like having your partner back.

“I also believe by assigning him to Establishments, the avoidable gap in communication between government and trade unions and the central labour organisations in the state and outside the state will now be a thing of the past and there will be more effective liaison and a coordinated attempt to issues as they arise “, he said.

He then assured the new commissioner of necessary supports needed to succeed in his new assignment.

Responding, Comrade Adodo thanked the Governor for the confidence reposed in him by his recall and promised to justify the opportunity by working assiduously to uplift the state.
