Yobe State Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni has vowed that this administration will not tolerate favouritism in appointments.
Buni gave the assurance shortly after administering oaths of office and allegiance to two commissioners, the state head of service, four permanent secretaries, and 28 Special Advisers for effective service delivery in the state.
He charged the new commissioners to contribute positively to the formulation and execution of all government policies, programmes, and projects prudently and transparently for the benefit of the people of the state.
Addressing the new Head of Service, Hamidu M. Alhaji, the governor said the state was losing experienced hands to retirement, hence charged him to cultivate a new, effective and efficient workforce to serve people of the state.
“I want to assure you that the government would provide your office with all the necessary support to train and retrain the workforce to promote efficiency in service delivery,” Buni assured.
He also emphasized the need to promote competence and merit to make the civil service efficient and productive.
He equally charged the 28 Special Advisers to carry their constituents along to understand the government policies and programmes.
The newly appointed commissioners are: Prof. Abba Idris and Alhaji Mohammed Mohammed Bara.
They have been deployed to the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, as well as the Ministry of Transport and Energy, respectively.
