Luanda - The governor of Luanda province, Luís Nunes, on Thursday called for the strengthening of ties between local administrations and citizens to solve the problems that afflict the communities.
The request was made during the swearing-in ceremony of new municipal administrators and directors of Luanda province.
The governor stressed that the moment is one of renewal and hope, since the new administrative political division brings with it changes in the way of thinking, acting and relationship between communities and rulers.
Luís Nunes said that the current territorial configuration offers a unique opportunity to redefine the paradigm of governing, although with reduced territories.
The governor drew attention to the expanded social responsibility, as well as the approach of the public administration to the citizens.
'It is necessary to listen to the concerns, understand the challenges and, above all, transform governance into a people-centred practice', he said.
In this context, he said that the current moment requires a governmental mentality that prioritizes the real day-to-day problems of the municipalities, not being oblivious to the concrete reality.
'We must be present alongside the communities, listening, understanding and acting with solidarity and pragmatism,' he stressed.
Therefore, he urged the newly inducted to present a better service with honour, patriotism, humanism, justice and professionalism.
The leader spoke of the importance of communicating well in an assertive, structured, open, clear and adapted way to each social context.
The governor swore in the administrators Milca Caquesse, from the municipality of Ingombota, Fernando João, from Cacuaco, Nádia Neto (from Cazenga), Demétrio de Sepúlveda (from Viana), Wilson Morais (from Belas), Naulila André (from Kilamba Kiaxi) and Sandra Caetano Batalha (from Talatona).
