The event, held at the LRA Headquarters in Paynesville on Friday, December 16, witnessed Assistant Commissioner of the MIS Division, Kollie U. Zayzay, expressing gratitude to the two senior officials for their instrumental roles in enhancing the division’s efficiency and the professional advancement of long-serving staff members.
Acknowledging the dedication and commitment exhibited by 18 MISD staff, who were promoted to various levels based on their outstanding performance, Zayzay highlighted their collective efforts in driving revenue growth through the implementation of digitalization strategies.
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Gabriel Y. Montgomery and Samuel G. Bennett for their unwavering support toward our division and their recognition of the deserving staff members’ promotions,” noted Kollie.
