Dr Meyere advised the Chairmen and Board members to deliver measurable results, by establishing ‘’amicable working relationship with your management.’’

The Secretary to Kaduna State Government further charged them to put the citizens first and work together as a team that is serving one Government.
‘’Let fairness, equity and the needs of our communities guide your decisions. Those of you who oversee enforcement agencies must ensure that they act firmly, but with courtesy and full respect for the rights of citizens.
‘’No agency succeeds alone; our health institutions must plan together, our security and enforcement agencies must share information and act in synergy and collaboration, and our training institutions must align what they teach with the needs of our health system, our farms and our growing economy,’’ he said.
The SSG promised to support them to discharge their responsibilities, advising them ‘’to channel your reports, recommendations and requests through your supervising Ministries and the appropriate structures of Government so that they receive prompt attention.’’
