Forum of Permanent Secretaries in Kogi State has described Governor Yahaya Bello’s civil service reform as progressive, saying the governor deserves support to enable him to consolidate on his numerous achievements.
Chairman of the forum, Jibrin Okeme, who stated this after the forum’s meeting, said the civil service reforms have positively repositioned the state for better efficiency and performance.
He noted that promotion in the civil service had been quarantined from tribalism and inefficiency, assuring the governor of their maximum support in moving the state forward.
“As challenging as the reforms may be, the gains inherent cannot be quantified. The state’s benefit outlives the pains. We are in the same boat with Governor Bello. Wherever he goes we will go with him” he said.
The forum also passed a vote of confidence on the Special Adviser, Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, “for holding his head high in piloting the affairs of the Ministry. With the surgical operation carried out in the civil service, the service is now operating at its optimum.”
