If anything, the Minister of Lands Dr. Dennis Sandy could best be described as either a prophet or a seer and more so a man with foresight and vision required of any good leader.
This vision of the Lands Minister has sprouted to something that could save many lives especially under the strain of the current COVID-19 pandemic which is plaguing the whole world at this moment causing great loss of lives in every continent of the globe.
One of the precautions that Government has been stressing on to deter the spread of the Virus is social distancing which means working with others while at the same time maintaining certain amount of distance between each other.
The Ministry of Lands’ mandate involves much surveying of Government and private property in cases where there are disputes between land owners. Surveys involve many hands who work closely but that was before Dr. Sandy came to that Ministerial position at the Ministry of Lands.
Dr. Sandy’s innovation of introducing aerial drone system of surveys has made social distancing child’s play for the Ministry of Lands. The Prophet has made it simple and hands free with just a few hands to survey large portions of land without any interaction among peoples.
The Ministry of Lands is the only Ministry in the country that could boast of completing a very tasking assignment while at the same time observing perfect social distancing.
Dr. Sandy who is rated among the top 6 Cabinet Ministers in the President Bio Government by the Integrity Score Card has always displayed discipline in everything he does and this innovation with the use of drones, is just one of those and his boss, HE President Bio will be highly pleased with him.
