In a recent development, Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has emphasized the need for inclusivity within the state's workforce. This call came during the swearing-in ceremony of nine newly-appointed permanent secretaries into the state civil service. Governor Buni underscored the importance of providing every employee with a clearly defined schedule of responsibilities to validate their employment.


Governor Buni noted that his administration had recently taken the significant step of hiring over 2,600 degree graduates, diploma holders, and NCE holders to fill vacant positions in the state civil service. This initiative was aimed at enhancing productivity and strengthening the state's workforce.


He urged the state's Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries to actively promote the implementation of these schedules of responsibilities, ensuring that each worker is assigned duties that substantiate their employment. This, he believes, will not only grant employees a sense of belonging and purpose but also help curb issues related to idleness and absenteeism, ultimately fostering a more dynamic and productive work environment.


Furthermore, Governor Buni called upon the newly appointed permanent secretaries to work collaboratively with their respective commissioners, directors, and staff within their ministries and departments. He emphasized the importance of teamwork, loyalty, sacrifice, and diligence in the pursuit of Yobe State's development goals.

Minister Wike underscored the essential principles of transparency, efficiency, and accountability as cornerstones of their administration. He pointed out that the Mandate Secretaries are not just advisors but also leaders and implementers of policies. Their duty lies in translating the vision for the FCT into tangible actions that will shape its future, aligning with the mission of rebuilding and developing it into a world-class city.

To realize this ambitious goal, the Minister emphasized the need to enhance Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) through innovative approaches aimed at securing the necessary funds to support the development agenda. This financial strategy is considered crucial for financing the implementation of ambitious projects and initiatives that will benefit the FCT and its residents.

Moreover, Minister Wike identified public transportation as a significant challenge that requires comprehensive attention. He highlighted the fact that no modern city can function effectively and efficiently without a reliable and comprehensive public transportation system. Addressing this aspect of urban development will be a key focus to ensure the FCT's growth and success as a thriving metropolis.
