While addressing the council officials, the Chairman charged them to demonstrate integrity, commitment, and innovation in the discharge of their duties, while fostering effective collaboration with staff members across their respective departments. He reiterated that local government remains the tier of government closest to the people and must therefore continue to deliver tangible democratic dividends directly to communities at the grassroots.

According to him, the administration remains committed to achieving measurable outcomes that will positively impact the lives of the people of Ado Local Government.
