Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has declared that merit, competence and integrity will remain the sole criteria for appointments and recruitments in his administration, saying the era of “this is somebody’s friend, this is somebody’s wife” is over in the state civil service.
Governor Otti made the declaration during the Abia State Leadership Academy Executive Leadership Series for political appointees and senior public servants held at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia. The event was part of activities marking Abia’s 35th anniversary.
