Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria, Ibukun Awosika, has advised newly-elected governors and returning ones to appoint people from outside their states as long as they can deliver effectively.
Mrs Awosika said this on Monday at the ongoing induction for governors which is organised by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) at the State House, Abuja.
She said: “Some states are richer than others, but it is how well you use the wealth for the people that matters.
“You don’t have all the answers, but you have people that can work with you. You need to work with people and they do not have to be from your states. If you need help, ask for it anywhere in the country.
“A nation that is divided against itself cannot stand. I want my nation to work. I need your help to make the nation work.”
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Bukola Saraki are also attending the induction ceremony.
