[dropcap]D[/dropcap]elta state Head of Service, Reginald Bayoko, has urged civil servants in the state to key more into the SMART Agenda of the Okowa administration to facilitate the realisation of the set goals of government.
Bayoko made the call while going round the offices in the office complex of the Head of Service in Asaba to interact with the staff and felicitate with them for making it into the new year.
The Head of Service said the contributions of civil servants were necessary for the political class to succeed, stressing that governance was not the responsibility of politicians alone.
He noted that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had so far done well in the area of staff welfare by straightening workers record of service through the biometric capture exercise, introducing the Contributory Health Scheme, regularly paying workers salaries, investing in the training and re-training of staff of MDAs and creating a conducive work environment for the Office of the Head of Service.
Bayoko stated that the recent Owner Occupier Policy of government for the Junior Staff Quarters and the ongoing construction of an additional state secretariat to accommodate MDAs currently in rented apartments were all geared towards the welfare of workers.
The Head of Service, accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of his office, Frank Isume and all directors, assured the staff of a better deal in the new year.
