The
Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has hinted that civil servants in the
state would henceforth, be the cornerstones and fulcrum upon which his second
term in office would run as he is due to be inaugurated come January 27th,
2020.
The
Governor said Wednesday at the Government House Lokoja, when he met with
permanent secretaries and heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs),
promising to deal more with civil servants than political appointees during his
second term in his quest to ensure efficient and effective service delivery for
the people.
"I
am opened to advise from all of you” he says.
The
second term can’t be self serving. It is going to more of service delivery to
the people. That is why I am involving those that are hungry for service to get
involved. Don’t be surprised to see your child be your boss as long as he is
hungry for service.
"This
second tenure is going to be that of service delivery. It's a tenure by and for
those who are hungry for results.
"For
us to get to the desired destination that we want, we have to start now. I urge
you all to be transparent", he said.
He
charged the civil servants not to show political appointees the ways to
circumvent the system but to rather checkmate them at all time.
"Whoever
I will appoint as your heads today or tomorrow should be told of what the law
permits. Don't teach them to circumvent the system.
"I
am going to be dealing directly with the civil servants; It's going to be a
periodic interaction.
"Verify
every directive from me before you comply. Kogi belongs to all of us. We all
have equal stakes in it. Nobody, no group, no tribe is better placed than
other; we all have equal stake.
The
governor directed that details of the number of accounts being operated by the
MDAs with whichever financial institution and the signatories to the accounts
must be submitted henceforth.
