The monthly DPDB meeting was held on 10th July 2023 at DC Office Conference Hall, Chumoukedima under the chairmanship of Advisor, Industries & Commerce, Hekani Jakhalu, and ADC Chumoukedima, Dr. Kuzonyi Wideo.
Hekani welcomed the members and expressed her enthusiasm to work together. She said as a new district, it was an opportunity for her and the officers to be exploring towards a clean ward. She said that most of the officers come with great expectations and enthusiasm to bring a change but often due to the bad legacy and trend it becomes so difficult to bring about changes, however, in the case of Chumoukedima it's a white slate, meaning the officers are going to lay a foundation. Each one plays a crucial role in laying a foundation or writing new narratives for the districts. She mentioned that they are the foundation to change a system and bring change. Hence, reminded all Government employees to know the roots from where their daily bread comes, once they know the roots they will be sincere and can bring a change. Further, she assured the officers to assist and give her full support and reach out to them in whatever way she can reach or contribute to the development of districts and various departments and look forward to learning and working together as a team.
