Dr Sani Gwarzo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, has scored the nation’s Public Service high, considering numerous achievements under the leadership of Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan.
Mr Gwarzo made the commendation at Juma’ah Prayer to mark the Civil Service Week, at the National Mosque Abuja on Friday.
He, therefore, called on all Muslim Faithful and all Nigerians to pray for the sustainability of the sector, being the engine room of the nation’s economy.
“The civil service has recorded tremendous improvement under the leadership of Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan and I cannot enumerate the number of areas of achievements to include digitisation of the civil service, performance management system.
“For the first time in history of Nigeria the office of the HOCSF does not work on paper, it is paperless at the moment.
“Everything you do, you interact in that office, every approval process, every procedure is digitally maintained and that efficiency has also transcended down to the Ministries,” Mr Gwarzo said.
Dr Muhammad-Kabir Adam, Chief Imam of the National Mosque, in his sermon titled, ”Stand up to help one another”, called on Nigerians to try as much as they could to assist others who are struggling to live at such a difficult period we are in the country.
“The sermon of today is calling on Nigerians to stand to help one another. If you have, you also need to assist anyone that have not so that the life will be better for all as we are living together in this part of the world-that is Nigeria.
“Nigeria is our country, therefore, we have to assist one another. That is the main theme of the sermon of today. “
He also used the occasion to pray for all civil servants and leaders in the sector, tasking them to put more efforts to sustain their good works.
“We pray specially for the civil service celebration week. The civil service is the workforce of the country they are the one that steering the management of this country.
“We call on them to continue to deliver good services as we regard them as representatives of Allah in their affairs. What they are doing is sacrificial services to the country,” he said.
