Newly sworn in Cross River State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hon Edema Irom, Monday, charged staff of her ministry to be proactive in their various tasks.

Irom who gave the charge during her maiden meeting with staff of the ministry in Calabar, maintained that punctuality and trust work remain pivotal to achieving goals.

"Let us see our task here as trust work and work as a team, for these are the only ways to achieve goals and expected results.

"If you do not know how to come early, please come early, let's build this place together, drive the processes together and learn to trust ourselves," the commissioner advised.

Explaining that she is a daughter of Grace, Irom said she never lobbied to be a commissioner, but waited for God to direct her affairs in life.

"When you do what is right, do your job efficiently and stay away from gossips and other ill words that tarnish the image of others, God who sees all will reward you.

"All you need to do is to work hard, be punctual to your duty post, avoid back-biting, then you will see God's grace as he lifts you up in your career," she said.

The commissioner also applauded the staff efforts which saw to the successful completion of the 23rd Regular National Council Meeting on Women Affairs held in the state, few days after being sworn in.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr. Alice Egbe, assured that staff will not disappoint on their roles but will continue to be proactive in their assigned tasks.

"We prayed for God to give us a compassionate commissioner who has the heart of a mother and interest for women and children, and we are glad that our Creator answered us.

"Be rest assured that we will not disappoint you as all hands will be on deck as we always have done, even as we continue to work as a team," the Permanent Secretary assured.

The commissioner after the familiarization meeting with entire staff had proceeded for another meeting with the management cadre, to fashion out ways on how to positively transform the ministry.
