Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi state Monday admonished commissioners and principal officers on their attitudes while in office.
The governor appreciated them for working with him and encouraged them to always reach out to others, not minding the situation in the country.
He stated this during the flag-off of a 4-day orientation course workshop for Commissioners and Principal Officers of Ebonyi State Government at Re Meritona Hotel and Suites, Abakaliki.
While declaring open the workshop, he said the training was put together to impact on the appointees most of whom are new on the needed skills for effective service delivery to citizens.
He called on them to take the training seriously in order to achieve the policy thrust of his administration encapsulated in the people’s charter of needs manifesto.
He said: “Let me on-behalf of the finest people of Ebonyi state, welcome you to this great event. We thought it wise to sit down with senior government officers and brainstorm on what is expected of them knowing that we came together on the platform of Divine Mandate.
“To our dear principal officers of government, let me first of all congratulate you. It is not easy to agree to work with government at this very challenging moment. The dividend of democracy does not stop at sharing money and some people would always want you to bring out the money and share and that is the challenge of the time.
“Whatever actions we take must be correct, if we do this, a lot of people will be happy with us and agree with our mantra which is the people’s charter of needs.
“As you are being encouraged to show love to others, still show love to your family, find a way of managing yourself as a government official and someone who has undergone change in the society.”
