The media, he commended forms an integral part of society emphasizing that their existence as the fourth estate of the realm leaves much to be desired as they play a critical role in the execution of developmental agendas. The media, he moreover lauded set the tone and agenda for public discourse on issues of national interest. This he indicated promotes the country’s quest to bringing local governance at the doorstep of the people.

He however implored the media to be mindful of their professional ethics and work with circumspection to promote development. The Upper East Region he said is endowed with the needed natural and human resources that needs to be utilised to promote the growth of the region. Therefore the media has a pivotal role in projecting the good things of the region and not report on issues that have the tendency of destroying one’s image and character. Meanwhile Dr Avea Nso was given a rousing welcome by residents of the region. On his arrival, various traditional sacrifices were made as a sign of blessing from the gods to herald his coming.

Addressing party supporters at the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), Dr Avea Nsoh acknowledge the tireless effort of the immediate past Regional Minister, his deputy and the entire regional administration for the good work done and express his determination to continue from where they left. He promised an open door policy and called for support and cooperation in the discharge of his official duties. He thanked the President, John Dramani Mahama and the leadership of the party for the confidence repose in him adding that he was going to work as a field man to facilitate the speedy growth and development at all levels. The region, Dr Avea Nsoh, observed needs a blue print and not a populace ideology of leadership. He therefore appealed to the people to correct him whenever he goes wrong and urged them to iron all differences for development to strive. As a son of the region, Dr Avea Nsoh before his appointment was an experienced lecturer serving as head of department for Gur-Gonja languages at the University of Education, Winneba.
