The People’s Democratic Party, PDP Campaign Council in Rivers State has commended the State Governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike for appointing new members of the Civil Service Commission, lauding him for the decision to inject 10,000 new workers into the service.
The
party's Director of Publicity and Communications, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke said in a
statement issued in Port Harcourt that in taking steps to address the needs of
the Civil service, the Governor has touched all segments of the Rivers society.
Chief
Nwuke said, "We are aware that several detractors have been trying to reap
cheap political capital from what they perceive as the delay in addressing the
needs of the Civil Service. Now that the Government is dealing with the Civil
Service, they are changing their dance step, but we however, gladdened by the
fact that Governor Wike whose new vision has touched on all sectors of our
economy, has in accordance with his laid down plan for the State, decided to
focus on the Rivers State Civil Service.
"The
Governor has expanded health facilities, built several roads and flyovers to
ease traffic and the movement of goods and services, and linked the Rivers grassroots
with the State capital.
"He
has provided scholarships to Rivers students and improved the learning environment
in our schools as part of the human capital development policy of the State
Government.
"Those
who are biting their tongues over the decision to constitute a Civil Service
Commission and the resolve by Government to employ 10,000 workers need not worry
about timing. Is Governor Wike right in ensuring that workers are promoted? Our
answer is yes. Is the Governor right in his decision to fill vacancies in the
service by employing 10,000 workers? Again, our answer is yes.
"The
interest of those we love our last served, so goes a popular aphorism. Governor
Wike has proved by his action that there is no time that he ever forgot the
contributions of Rivers workers.
"Rivers
workers are infact the engine room of Government. They are part and parcel of
the numerous successes that the administration has achieved by the grace of
God.
"Sir
Siminalayi Fubara, the governorship candidate of the PDP, is a product of the
Civil Service. He grew through the ranks and understands the yearnings and
aspirations of Rivers workers. There is no one in the race that has a better
understanding of the Civil Service than Sim.
"We
have no doubt whatsoever that Sim will put himself first in the shoes of
workers and the Civil Service before seeing himself as Governor of Rivers State.
"Finally,
the Civil Service Commission by law has the statutory mandate of handling
matters related to the employment as well as the promotion of workers.
"In carrying out this unique function, there are financial and administrative guidelines that must be followed. Those who are crying wolf over what they see as the backlog of promotions in the service need not worry. Those matters will be absolutely addressed.
