From Tongnaan Bawa, Jos

Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has  inaugurated 8 new Permanent Secretaries in the civil service calling on them to be diligent and revolutionise the service through hard work and dedication.

While congratulating the new permanent secretaries, the governor said their appointment was based on commitment, hard work, and diligence.

Governor Mutfwang who was represented by his Deputy Josephine Piyo, explained that the appointments were in the administration’s efforts to improve service delivery in the civil service and fill in existing vacancies created as a result of the retirement of some Permanent Secretaries.

“I congratulate the newly sworn-in permanent secretaries for the well-deserved appointment to the pinnacle of the civil service, having gone through due checks and consultations. Your appointment was based on commitment, hard work, dedication and due diligence.

“But let me warn that my administration will not tolerate disloyalty, indiscipline, flagrant abuse of office and indolence. Adding, diligent service to the government and citizens of Plateau state should be your watch word, failure in this regard will be considered as having you unfit and be shown the way out.

“You must therefore, remain focused to join hands with my administration on the implementation of our programmes, policies and projects to deliver the ‘Time is Now’ mandate as this will justify the overwhelming support we got from the good people and citizens of Plateau state”
