Talba Malla said he has an idea of his new task but with the help of his collaborators, he will work to overcome any obstacle with his over 36-year experience serving the state.
While regretting that he will miss his friends and collaborators in SONARA who supported him toward his success, he noted that the success is not only his success but that of the team. He however promised them that he will pay regular visits.
Talba Malla equally called on workers and SONARA shareholders to work towards the success of the second phase of the modernization process of the refining company.
Speaking to reporters, the director of public relations, communication and translation Blasius Ngome said he is elated for the promotion of his boss to the post of minister of public contracts.

Ngome said he sincerely admired the approach of GM Talba Malla who did not only take into consideration certificate as far as appointments were concerned. “He took into consideration certificate and character. Talba Malla is a man of experience, very generous and has human interest at heart.”
“You know Talba Malla is a civil servant who has worked in various facets of administration. So I count on his experience and human approach to problem solving. By my judgment, he will be up to the task,“ Blaise Ngome averred.
