Following her visit to the Ministry of Women Affairs, the Anambra Head of Service, Ngozi Anuli Iwouno, Esq., mni, has begun the process of sanitizing the Civil Service of redundancy and insubordination.
The Head of Service who on Wednesday, April 29, made her second visit to the Ministry of Women affairs since assuming office, toured the Ministry where she personally took the attendance of the workers present as well as the absentees.
“The government cannot continue to pay people for seating on tables without actual productivity,” HOS noted.
The Civil Service boss urged the workers to buckle up and live up to the demands of their job while strongly condemning lateness and absenteeism without seeking permissions.
Iwouno painstakingly went round the offices to get the names and duty of every staff while highlighting the importance of being present at ones duty post at all times, an act she described as being responsible.
The Anambra foremost civil servant then warn against disrespect to constituted authority and senior officers, an act she described as insubordination and sabotage that ruins the image and efforts of the government.
She made a brief stop at the Ministry of Justice, were she toured the offices, took similar stands and strongly advised them against making excuses for inactivity and redundancy.
The highpoint of the visit was when the workers prayed for the leaders of the Anambra State Government while apologising for their laxity and promising to become more proactive and to shun any form of corrupt practices.
The Head of Service were accompanied by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Obiageli Uchebo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engr. Martins Agbili and Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Power and Water Resources, Sir. Victor Ezekwo.
