Mr Lawson told the assembly after taking the oaths of office that he would pursue a vigorous educational policy and not engage in vindictiveness.
Col Cyril Necku (rtd), the Deputy Volta Regional Minister, told the new DCE that the task ahead of him was enormous because the district was new and expectations of the people were high.
