Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita,
Jaiyeola Andrews in Abuja
The federal government on Tuesday honoured 12 civil servants for their
punctuality, commitment and dedication to their official
responsibilities.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita,
presented certificates of commendation and a laptop to each of the 12
officers in Abuja during the permanent secretaries service wide meeting.
According to Oyo-Ita, the award was in keeping with her promise to
honour, reward and encourage hard work in the Federal Civil Service.
She noted that the officers honoured were those she met at their duty
posts exactly by 8a.m. when she paid an unscheduled visit to the Phase
one of the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja last year.
The HoS said her visit to the Ministries, Departments and Agencies
(MDAs) was to see how staff aligned themselves with the change mantra of
the present administration.
She added that the event was a proof to other civil servants that she
was serious about ensuring that civil servants must be seen to function
as agents of change by being efficient, productive, incorruptible and
citizen- centred, in order to accelerate economic growth and development
in the country.
The HoS declared that she walk the talk.
She however warned that civil servants who are in the habit of
abstaining from their duty posts without prior permission or who report
to work late or even close before the official working hours, would
henceforth be sanctioned according to the Public Service Rules.
Oyo-Ita called on the permanent secretaries to adopt the system of
paying unscheduled visit to staff in their Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) so as to encourage efficiency and productivity.
