Among the new appointees, Sylvanus Dongtoe was named Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Mrs. Joy Ramnap for Information and Communications, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong for Health, and Cornelius Doeyok for Culture, Tourism, and Hospitality. Dr. Sunday Akpa will head the new Ministry for Livestock Development, Veterinary Services, and Fisheries.
Governor Mutfwang swore in the new commissioners and urged them to bring innovation to their roles and contribute to the state’s development.
