It will be recalled that when this Administration came on board on 29th May, this year, the first step taken was to take stock of what was on the ground before inception. This step was meant to aid the establishment of a solid foundation for a well-focused and purposeful  administration. Thereafter, the various briefings, submissions and painstaking studying of handing-over notes and committee reports all gave the much required information and launching pad that helped to establish a credible baseline.

       Furthermore, the attendant directives given to the various Ministries/Departments during the Ministerial briefings, in line with the mission and vision of the present Administration were revisited and deliberated upon extensively. The submissions which were later collated and vetted have now formed the contents of this working document.

       One of the most enduring legacies of this document is that it will enable all the stakeholders, including the members of the public who will come across it, to know where each Ministry/Department should be at any time within the four-year period. This has been made possible because all the activities of all Government Departments have been set out in a graphic and calendarised manner for the same period. This document will also afford the primary users the opportunity of monitoring their performances and progressive project evaluation at each stage. They will also be able to plan ahead, as the case may be. Most importantly, Government functionaries as well as interested watchers will be able to point out to those at the helm of affairs any perceived faltering or inconsistency in programme implementation.

       In summary then, this document will help this Administration to adhere strictly to our four-point cardinal principles of being modest in our profile, focused in our vision, transparent in conduct and efficient in service delivery.

       Be that as it may, however good or lofty a plan may be, if it is not well executed, it will result in mere waste of time and resources. I, therefore, urge every user of the document, both high and low, to be actively involved in the implementation. It is only this that can justify  our  various efforts at the end  of the day.

       This work plan is therefore commended to the entire people of our Sunshine State.

       Thank you and God bless.
