By Ayodele Oni

Few days to the end of his administration, Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has inaugurated the newly appointed members of the Civil Service Commission.

At the ceremony on Tuesday, the Governor  described the event as a “watershed moment” for the state’s public service.

Obaseki highlighted the significant reforms the state has undergone to reshape the public service, noting that the swearing-in was a result of years of dedicated effort to improve the attitude, structure, and efficiency of the government workforce.

“The Civil Service Commission is tasked with nurturing, hiring, and training our civil servants, who are the critical assets of the government.”

Apparently fearing possible dissolution of the commission by incoming administration, the governor cautioned that “This agency should not be treated as another political structure,” urging the new members to maintain professionalism amidst any distractions they may encounter.

He also encouraged the Commission to provide sound advice to the government and expand its scope to manage all public servants effectively.

“The new members are expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring that the public service continues to function as a cornerstone of governance in Edo State.”
