The Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has launched the new public service rule to guide workers in the state when discharging their duties.
Governor Sule stated this at the Nasarawa State Civil Service Week in Lafia, the state capital.
He said; “the civil service week has offered yet another opportunity to appraise the civil service of Nasarawa State as not just a workforce, but a living institution made up of people who should be committed to excellence, integrity, and innovation.”
The theme of the Civil Service week;”Repositioning the Civil Service For a Digital Aid Production Future” is well conceived at a time when the government is committed to making digital governance a key priority.
“I should mention that in this age of global digital transformation, no government can afford to operate without data tools, methods, and mindset.”
“The civil service must evolve into a smart, technology-driven, and data-informed organisation capable of responding swiftly and effectively to the needs of the good people of Nasarawa state.”
“This is why we are laying the foundation for a paperless, efficient and transparent public administration through the ongoing digitalisation of human resource systems, payroll management, and record-keeping to build a public service that is not only productive, but also future-ready,” he said.
Sule noted that the state government having recognised the sacrifices of the civil servants had approved implemented the backlog of all promotions, thereby restoring hope and fairness to the system.
Governor Sule applauded All Progressives Congress (APC) government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu for all the economic reforms that has allowed the state to execute projects without borrowing money.
He used; “the occasion to reward some dedicated and punctual civil servants, Comfort David N1 million, Amina Idris N500 thousand and Chinasa Azubini N500 thousand respectively.”
Meanwhile, the Nasarawa State Head of Civil Service, Abigail Waya, while commending Governor Sule’s support, said the Civil Service week was marked with a long list of activities and promised to institutionalise it.
While tasking the Civil Servants on dedication and punctuality, Waya urged them to obtain the new public service rule to guide them in the cause of discharging their duties.
