Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, has warned newly inaugurated commissioners, special advisers and permanent secretaries against corruption and abuse of office, declaring that public resources must be used solely for the benefit of the people.
Speaking on Saturday during the swearing-in ceremony of 23 commissioners at the Government House, the governor said his administration would not tolerate any act capable of tarnishing its image as it enters its final year in office.
“The power, authorities and funds belonging to government must be used solely for the benefit of our people and not for the benefit of any single individual or group.
“This administration will not condone indiscipline, corruption or any act capable of tarnishing the hard-earned image of our government. You are not merely ambassadors of government; you are servants of the people of Gombe State,” he said.
The governor charged the new appointees to justify the confidence reposed in them by delivering quality governance and accelerating the implementation of government policies across the state.
