Today, Delta State took another step towards strengthening the welfare and efficiency of its civil service with the commissioning of 12 four-bedroom terraced duplexes for Permanent Secretaries and the presentation of 12 official vehicles to newly appointed Permanent Secretaries.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori highlighted investments in civil servants’ welfare, including housing, mobility, training and other support initiatives. He noted that the new duplexes and completed internal roads and drainage infrastructure provide befitting accommodation while addressing flooding and erosion within the quarters, while the 12 vehicles will support the mobility of the newly appointed Permanent Secretaries.
He also highlighted merit-based appointments, the training of 450 senior management staff, implementation of the national minimum wage and the planned 13th-month salary as part of efforts to strengthen the public service.
