Nwazue Urges Staff Commitment to Boost Public Service Delivery.

The Director of Administration in the Office of the Deputy Governor, Mr. Morgan Nwazue, has called on staff to strengthen their commitment to duty in order to enhance effective service delivery across the state’s public sector.

Nwazue made the appeal during the first Staff Welfare Scheme meeting of the office for 2026, where he emphasized the need for improved dedication, professionalism, and adherence to established administrative procedures.

He noted that optimal performance by staff remains essential to the successful implementation of government policies and programmes.

The Director of Administration also reminded employees to comply strictly with guidelines governing annual leave, stressing that leave requests for 2026 must not extend into December, as such applications would not be approved.

According to him, any staff member proceeding on annual leave would not be eligible to undertake overtime duties during that period.

In his contribution, the Director of Finance, Pastor Udo Nmecha, underscored the importance of punctuality and discipline in the workplace.

He urged workers to report to duty on time and remain at their assigned posts throughout official working hours.

Also Speaking , the Chairperson of the Staff Welfare Scheme, Rev.Sister Nkemderem Eheme, called on staff to demonstrate greater accountability and diligence in their responsibilities. She cautioned against absenteeism and complacency, stressing that regular salary payments must be matched with consistent productivity and presence at work.

Eheme also announced that elections into the welfare scheme would be conducted before the end of the year, following the lifting of previous restrictions. She disclosed that the process would be supervised by relevant authorities, including the Office of the Head of Service and the welfare union.

On welfare contributions, the chairperson urged members to meet their financial obligations promptly, warning that defaulters risk losing access to benefits, including planned Christmas packages.

She added that efforts were ongoing to recover outstanding dues and ensure the sustainability of the scheme.

The meeting also featured the adoption of previous minutes, as well as discussions on payment compliance and constitutional review.

A committee was set up to examine aspects of the welfare scheme’s constitution.
Members commended the management and welfare body for their support during the burial of a deceased staff member.

However, concerns were raised over the spread of unverified information within the office, prompting calls for professionalism in communication.

The meeting concluded with a closing prayer, reaffirming staff commitment to improved service delivery and collective responsibility in the workplace.
