People in positions of authority have been challenged to use it to positively impact lives of the less privileged for posterity to remember them.
Executive Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Dr. Grace Adagba threw the challenge at the thanksgiving service organised in her honour and fund raising for the completion of NKST Church, Suswam Mbakunde in Vandeikya Local Government Area.
She explained that while she had been counting her blessings during her life’s progression, she felt unfulfilled due to inability to adequately support less privileged people around her until her elevation as SUBEB chairman.
She attributed her appointment to the grace of God considering the variety of candidates who jostled for the position, saying it was worthy of returning to God in thanksgiving.
Dr. Adagba thanked Governor Hyacinth Alia for trusting her with the position and pledged loyalty to his policies which she acknowledged were designed to deliver development to the state.
