Editorial: The Path Ahead for Nasarawa's New CabinetBy Suleiman Abubakar MAPSA Now that the long-awaited cabinet dissolution in Nasarawa State has come to pass, attention has shifted to the crucial task of forming a new executive council. Political analysts and stakeholders are calling on Governor Abdullahi Sule to ensure that the right individuals are selected for the right roles. This is essential for the continued growth and development of the state.To avoid undue lobbying and ensure efficient governance, it is imperative that the new cabinet is announced promptly. The governor must prioritize accessibility and performance, avoiding the appointment of individuals who lack the capacity to serve the people effectively.While fresh faces can bring new energy and ideas, a few members of the previous cabinet deserve consideration for reappointment, given their dedication, transparency, and alignment with Governor Sule’s policies. Notable among these are individuals who demonstrated exceptional commitment during their tenure.Dr. John W. D. Maman, former Commissioner for Education, stands out for his tireless efforts in reforming the education sector. A retired class teacher and administrator, Dr. Maman worked diligently to address inefficiencies, demonstrating a deep understanding of the system and a commitment to progress.Similarly, Dr. Margaret Itake Elayo, former Commissioner for Humanitarian Services and NGOs, exemplified the adage that "what a man can do, a woman can do better." Her impactful leadership in addressing humanitarian needs and fostering partnerships with NGOs has left a lasting mark on the sector.As the governor prepares to announce the new executive council, it is crucial to strike a balance between experience and innovation. The appointees must embody the values of accountability, transparency, and a commitment to public service. Nasarawa’s future depends on leaders who prioritize the people and are prepared to work tirelessly to achieve the administration’s vision for the state.
