The governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, Simon Uber, appealed to state government officials to work for better service delivery.
The coordinator of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state, Aluong Matem noted in a statement that Governor Uber made this appeal during his first meeting on Saturday at the state Coordination office in Juba.
“The Governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal state Simon Uber chaired his first-ever meeting with state ministers, MPs, and Members of independent commissions, coordination staffs… in Juba on Saturday, a step toward officially assuming his duties,” Matem noted in a statement.
According to Matem, Governor Uber Called for peace and unity while urging state officials to work together to provide services to the people in the state.
“Governor Uber Mawut reiterated his calls for peace and unity among the people and urged the state government constitutional post holders to work hand in hand to deliver positive change for all people of Northern Bahr El Ghazal state,” he added.
Matem further noted that Governor Uber stressed the importance of cooperation with all state organs.
“He (Governor) emphasised togetherness and cooperation with all the government branches including the executive, legislature, and judiciary,” Matem noted.
However, Mr Matem told The City Review over the phone on Sunday that the governor would travel to Northern Bahr el Ghazal State after being sworn in as Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) state chairperson.
“He (Governor) will be first sworn in as the SPLM state chairperson and after that, he will go to the Northern Bahr el Ghazal state,” Matem said.
“He has a lot of things to do in the state. That is why he wanted to wait and after that, he would go and stay in the state to deal with issues facing people on the ground,” he added.
Uber told the Aweil community during a reception ceremony held at a residential area in Giada headquarters that his administration would prioritize food security, unity, and security in the state after taking office.
“I am going to the state with three things: Unity, Food Security, and the Security of the citizens. I would not achieve them without your support as people of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State,” Uber said, as quoted by The City Review last week.
