A pre-inauguration induction briefing has been held for members-elect of the Eight Delta State Assembly, with a charge on them to be committed to the task ahead.
The one-day programme which took place at the State Assembly Complex in Asaba and presided over by the clerk of the House, Mrs Lyna Ocholor, had in attendance both returning and new members.
The members-elect, most of them, who were meeting for the first time were in high spirits as they exchanged pleasantries and settled down for the pre-inauguration induction briefing.
The clerk of the House, Mrs Lyna Ocholor, flanked by her deputy, Otos Aghoghopia and some directors in the Assembly, said the pre inauguration induction briefing was to prepare members-elect on the task before them.
She said the induction provided an opportunity for the members-elect to formally know one another, stressing that members of the Eighth Assembly should be adequately informed of activities that will take place between now and the day of the inauguration ceremony.
According to the clerk, the members-elect would be properly briefed on the date and venue for the inauguration, code of conduct and assets declaration as well as filling of profile form.
The members, in separate interviews, said they were very impressed with the pre-inauguration induction meeting as a prelude of what to expect in the Assembly as soon as they are inaugurated.
They said they look forward to representing their constituencies and to support the next government to bring more development to the state. They thanked the clerk of the house for the meeting while assuring Deltans of a better legislature.
