“We are doing our best as ministers, sometimes going against ourselves. We as young ministers will do our best. There is nobody who is perfect.”
Nii Afotey-Agbo made the remarks when he inaugurated a GHc690,000 regional office complex for the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) in Ho on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama.
Nii Afotey-Agbo urged young people who were given the opportunity to serve the people in high offices to offer their best in challenging situations and not become “pins in their heads. Let’s be humble the higher we go up,” he added.
Nii Afotey-Agbo, therefore, urged public office holders to be mindful of the character traits they exhibited because being “bossy and arrogant will take us nowhere.”
He urged those serving in the health sector to recognise the sensitive nature of their calling, and strive to give quality care to the people.
He said their hearts, rather than their salary should dictate the quality of service they rendered to the people.
“The horse which pulls the load does not go hungry rather more good things will come your way,” he said.
