housing and training programmes.
He said the government has already acquired
large expanse of land in some strategic areas of
the state capital, Yenagoa, and would collaborate
with reputable development partners to build
affordable residential houses for civil servants.
Oyo-Ita expressed determination of government
to effect a paradigm shift in documentation, and
in the welfare of the civil servants, especially in
the areas of housing, training, regular payment of
salaries and allowances as well as post-pension
life.
She said, “I want to leave behind a deep and
lasting change in the culture of the service and
the people operating it. I am looking at
developing a character change and a civil service
that will act in line with the ethics of the service;
efficient, productive, incorruptible and citizen-
centred.”
