 By Aminu Umar Bukkuyum, B/Kebbi

The Secretary to the Kebbi Government (SSG), Alhaji Yakubu Bala-Tafida, has urged civil servants in the state to reciprocate the gesture of Gov. Nasir Idris by ensuring efficient and effective service delivery.
 
Bala-Tafida made the call on Monday while formally inaugurating the new multi-billion Naira State Secretariat completed by the present administration in Birnin Kebbi.
 
Speaking to journalists shortly after assuming office in the new complex, the SSG stressed the need for workers to show appreciation for the huge investment committed to the completion of the project, which was previously abandoned.
 
“We thank Almighty Allah for granting the governor the wisdom, courage and ability to complete this project.
 
"As you can see, this is my office and all ministries are now accommodated here. We are indeed very grateful,” he said.
 
He assured that the edifice would comfortably accommodate about 25,000 workers and urged civil servants to ensure proper maintenance of the facility for their benefit and that of the state.
 
Also speaking, the state Head of the Civil Service, Alhaji Malami Shekare, commended the governor for different initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of workers in the state.
 
Shekare listed some of the achievements in the civil service to include approval and implementation of a N75,000 minimum wage for all categories of workers, regularisation of casual workers to permanent status, and recruitment of qualified and agile teachers and nurses, among others.
 
On maintenance of the new structure, Shekare disclosed that the government would assign the responsibility to a company to ensure proper upkeep of the edifice.
 
In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of M-Tech Nigeria Limited, Engineer Manir Musa Jega, whose company executed the project, appreciated the governor for awarding the contract to an indigenous firm.
 
He noted that the opportunity given to the company and its ability to deliver a standard project within schedule had demonstrated that indigenous contractors were capable of handling major projects not only in the state but across Nigeria and beyond.
