The incoming Permanent Secretary, Common Services Office (CSO) in the Office of The Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), Mr. Omachi Raymond Omenka has tasked Civil Servants to be more effective and productive on service delivery.
Mr. Omenka made the call during the handing/taking over ceremony where he was received by Directors in the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, noting that there would be rewards and sanctions, where necessary.
According to him, staff welfare will be his priority for proper motivation.
While promising to build on the foundation already laid by the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Lydia Shehu Jafiya, Mr Omenka also pledged to operate an open – door policy so that those with ideas that would help move the mandate of the Office would be duly entertained.
Mr Omenka thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, CFR for the appointment, as well as deployment, stating that he will not take the position for granted.
Speaking earlier, the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Lydia Shehu Jafiya, who has been redeployed to the Federal Ministry of Finance, said even though the job was a challenging one, she had very supportive staff that made it very easy for her.
The outgoing said the OHCSF was a training camp, where one learns a lot and leaves as a better person.
She applauded the HoSF for her support and the motherly role she played during her short stay and prayed that the incoming Permanent Secretary gets the same support from the staff.
Speaking during his welcome remarks, the Director, Human Resource Management, Mr. Raymond Nwaneri thanked the outgoing PS for all the times she redirected him when he seemed to be wobbling in the discharge of his duties, while urging all staff to be willing and ready to take correction in the discharge of their various responsibilities.
