“We are congratulating you today, I pray that you will not give us the opportunity to chastise you tomorrow because promotion demands more responsibility from you.
“Your actions now are expected to be more proactive. Simple mistakes will not be tolerated. Some of you have entered the management level, so there are certain things that you have to do away with since you have this promotion.
“There are certain things that you are not expected to be seen doing, so in office and out of office has changed from now, for good. A lot will be demanded from you now, don’t be carried away with the euphoria of the promotion, a lot will be expected of you now because of the task ahead of you. Don’t relax on your oars,” he stated.
