Illoh tasks new staff on work ethics 

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Dr. Clement Illoh has charged newly recruited officers in the Ministry to be conversant with the extant rules and regulations guiding the operations of the Civil Service and also operate within the framework of the service.

Dr. Clement Illoh stated this Tuesday in Abuja while declaring open a 2-day induction course for the newly recruited staff through the Director, Human Resources Management, Mrs. Abiola Bawa.

Illoh explained: “Civil Servants are referred to as foot soldiers, the engine of Government that provides support in shaping policies and programmes of the Nation. As foot soldiers therefore, we must be conversant with rules and regulations guiding the operations of the Civil Service and also operate within such rules and regulations”.

Speaking further, Dr. Illoh stated that the induction course was necessitated by the need to change the work ethics, values and productivity standard of the newly recruited officers toward building a strong institution as no nation can make sustainable progress without the right values and culture.

He enjoined the officers to imbibe the core values of the Civil Service as culture, so that they can bring about the desired change, professionalism and progress to the Ministry in particular and the nation in general.
Speaking on behalf of participants at the workshop, Mrs. Jane Nwafor appreciated the Permanent Secretary for organizing the induction course which she believes will expose the officers to the needed information that will boost their work ethics and standards.

She further assured the management that the participants will make good use of the opportunities the workshop offered them to develop their skills for enhanced productivity.
