Workers Day: Gov. Mohammed Pledges Result Oriented Civil Service

Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says his administration would do everything to make sure that the Civil Service in the State remained vibrant and result oriented.

Mohammed, who stated this during the 2024 International Workers’ Day celebration in Bauchi on Wednesday, said the move was to ensure seamless delivery of dividends of democracy to the good people of the state.

Represented by his Deputy, Alh Auwal Jatau, Mohammed reassured that no stone would be left unturned in his administration’s resolve to reposition the civil service and thereby restore its lost glory.

He explained that the recent provision of Wage Award and restoration of the payment of Annual Leave Grant to Civil Servants in the state was a deliberate attempt at providing succor to Civil Servants.

Mohammed commended the International Labour Organization for singling out workers day to celebrate workers’ contributions to world growth and development, adding that workers had the responsibility of striving to salvage the socio-economic and political fortune of the country.

“I am very pleased to be part of another annual celebration of the International Workers Day also known as ‘MAY DAY’.

“This day is specifically set aside to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of workers to the socio-economic development of the country.

“As May Day is celebrated, workers in both the public and Private Sectors have the opportunity to reflect on their performances and see how much they have contributed to the development of their fatherland.

“They should also see how to address the current challenges affecting our economic, social, security and other vital areas of human endeavors in order to move the country forward,” he said.

According to him, since the inception of his Administration, measures had been put in place to stabilise salaries and pensions payment with a view to have credible nominal roll that would reliably drive the payroll, block leakages, improve cash flow management and cut unnecessary spending.

Earlier, the State Head of Civil Service, Yahuza Adamu, appreciated Governor Bala Mohammed for his administration’s investment in the civil service and tasked workers to reciprocate the gesture by supporting the present administration in the state to succeed in the implementation of policies and programmes.

Also, the Chairman of NLC in the state, Comrade Dauda Shuaibu, expressed gratitude to the governor for the payment of Ten thousand naira Wage Award to all workers in the state and urged him to sustain it so as to alleviate the current economic challenges being experienced by workers.
