The newly elevated permanent secretaries, Hajiya Hadiza Bello Yero and Mrs. Sarah S.D. Ali has expressed gratitude to Taraba State Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas for their recent elevations.

Both permanent secretaries were among the sixteen that were recently elevated by Governor Kefas’ administration.

Addressing management and staff shortly after taking over office at the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Hajiya Hadiza Bello Yero warned staff against sabotaging government’s good intentions for the state.

To this end, she warned that the ministry should not be mistaken as worship centres or community meeting centres and cautioned against acts of promoting religion and tribal sentiment, and insisted that service delivery should take the centre stage.

According to her, the ministry is a homecoming as she noted that her Architecture career started from the ministry as far back as 1996.

Hajiya Hadiza assured that the elevation will not be taken for granted but a pay back to Governor Kefas’ administration hence she has to work assiduously to justify the trust and confidence reposed on her by the present government.

“My doors are widely open for each and every one of you provided you are ready to put in your best to move Taraba forward”, she stated.

Also in her remarks while taking over office at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Mrs. Sarah S.D. Ali prayed to God to sustain the administration of Governor Kefas whom she described as “God sent” to Taraba State.

According to her, to whom much is given, much is also expected and assured not to take her elevation for granted.

The new permanent secretary however frowns against a look-worn attitude to office such as late coming and absence from duty.

She assured the ministry workers of a cordial motherly collaboration and support at all times.
