Governor Ishaku at the swearing in ceremony
By Yusuf Salihu Sansani, Jalingo
Governor of Taraba State Architect Darius Dickson Ishaku has appointed 23 new Permanent Secretaries from 10 out of the 16 Local Government areas and Yangtu Special Development area of the state.
Bali, Kurmi, Takum, Wukari and Zing Local Governments has three Permanent Secretaries each, Ibi Local Government and Yangtu Special Development area has two each while Karim Lamido and Sardauna Local Governments has one Permanent Secretary each.
Swearing in the newly appointed Permanent Secretaries at the Government House, Jalingo, the Governor said their appointment was a testimony to the adage that says “hard work pays.”
Governor Ishaku maintained that the lean resources at the disposal of his administration coupled with other competing challenges did not make it possible for every qualified Civil Servant to be appointed a Permanent Secretary but that’s not to say that every worker should not put in his best and aspire for the highest position in the Civil Service.
Governor Ishaku commended the Labour Leaders in the state for the their support and cooperation during the two terms of his administration.
In a vote of thanks on behalf of the new Permanent Secretaries, Dr. Micah Musa expressed delight for having the opportunity for serving for eight years under the administration of the Governor as Director and Chief Executive Officer of various Ministries, Boards and Parastatals.
