Amioku reminded the staff that they were stewards of public resources and servants of the people, adding that their primary duty was to serve the interest of the nation and its citizens and let their work be guided by the principles of impartiality, objectivity and always in the best interest of the public good.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), Mr. Fredrick Yoro disclosed that the vision of the commission was to provide competent leadership that would make civil servants better.
Yoro said that the newly recruited staffers deployed in the state service include industrial officers, optometrists, program nurse tutors, health education, clerical officers, secretarial assistants, vet lab assistants, messengers, store attendants, security guards, watchmen, and cleaners, among others.
He commended the staff for their successful entrance into the civil service and hoped that they would contribute positively to the work assigned to them, adding that this gesture from the state government is a testament to the premium placed on the training and development of its workforce.
