He emphasized the need to avoid corruption or mismanagement and instituted reforms to improve the agency's performance. Echono acknowledged the positive testimonies from beneficiaries and the increasing number of institutions it has to cater for, but assured that the agency is up to the task and will continue to work hard to achieve more feats. He also assured that projects initiated by the fund would not be abandoned, as efforts will be made to complete them.
