- KOHIMA — Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Thursday
inaugurated the Angami Gazetted Officers Krotho (AGOK) Badze Multi-Utility
Centre at Meriema, Kohima, and called upon AGOK members to serve as a
think-tank for the government and work for people’s welfare.
- Addressing the gathering, the chief minister described
gazetted officers as the "cream of society" and encouraged them to
take on a greater role in guiding both government policy and societal
development. "As citizens of the state capital, you have more
responsibility," he said, urging AGOK members to be more accommodative,
forward-thinking, and dedicated to public interest.
- Rio noted that the new multi-utility facility, located in a
prime area of the capital complex extended up to Tsiesema Basa, has the
potential to serve various communities. He expressed hope that it would become
a space for promoting greater understanding, cooperation, and unity among
people.
- He pointed out that Naga society largely looks up to the
government of the day. As such, the state government has been working and
advocating that society should follow the principle of meritocracy, he said.
