Governor,
Arc. Darius
Dickson
Ishaku
Yesterday swore in
the new
Head of
Civil
Service, a
Commissioner in the Taraba State Independent
Electoral Commission TSIEC, twelve Permanent
Secretaries and three Local Council Chairmen.

In his speech at the Exco Chambers, Government
House, Darius Ishaku tasked the new Head of
Service to work with renewed vigour to ensure
discipline, entrench professionalism, sanitise
and boost morals in the Civil Service.
To the Permanent Secretaries, the Governor
charged them to conduct themselves with utmost
diligence, commitment, transparency and high
sense of accountability and prudence in the
management of resources, considering the
difficulties being faced in the country.

Accordingly, he urged the Commissioner of the
Taraba State Independent Electoral Commission
TSIEC, to be proactive as he anticipates a speedy
arrangement that would culminate into a
credible Local Government elections.


In the same vein, Governor Darius Ishaku
challenged the three newly sworn in Chairmen of
Ardo Kola, Sardauna and Zing to work
assiduously with all the stakeholders and
traditional rulers towards ensuring peaceful
coexistence in their respective domain.
The Governor noted that in the past one and the
half years of his administration, the Head of
Service and some Permanent Secretaries in the
State civil service have retired, which
necessitated the appointment and subsequent
swearing in of new ones to fill in the vacuum
created by their exit.

He then used the forum to appeal to the new
appointees thus, “I want to use this opportunity
to welcome the newly sworn in officials on board
the Rescue Team, I urge you all to speedily
familiarise yourselves with the Rescue Agenda so
that we can operate on the same page”.
Governor Darius Ishaku beckoned on them to be
proactive in all that they will do so as to help
move the state forward.

Responding on behalf of the newly appointed
officials, the new Head of Service, Mr. Simon
Angyu thanked the Governor for finding them
worthy and assured that they will work
assiduously to ensure the success of the Rescue
Mission and stressed that this is the first time
that the Governor is appointing technocrats since
he assumed leadership in the State.
Simon Angyu maintained that they would work
committedly to accord the present
administration the desired support to succeed
and praised the Governor for being apt in the
payment of salaries in the State despite the harsh
economic condition of the country.
