Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has called for a reform of the country’s civil service to meet modern day service realities.

He said the 21st century requires a civil service that’s innovative, agile, digitally-enabled, accountable, and driven by excellence.

Fubara who made the call during the opening ceremony of the ongoing 48th Conference of the National Council on Establishments (NCE) in Port Harcourt, yesterday, noted that an efficient civil service is the bedrock on which every effective government strives.

He emphasised that without a competent, motivated and effective public service, no government can fully realize its vision for sustainable development.
