A’ Ibom Recruits 4,000 New Workers into State Public Service.
According to the state Governor, Umo Eno, Okon Bassey in Uyo The Akwa Ibom State Government has recruited 4,000 new workers into the state public service to strengthen its workforce.
According to the state Governor, Umo Eno, who disclosed this yesterday, the recruitment exercise is aimed at filling vacant positions, improving government operations and making public institutions more effective.
The governor explained the reason behind the recruitment during the orientation programme for the newly employed workers at the Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Centre in Uyo.
He said the appointments were based on vacancies identified across the public service and were not intended to unnecessarily increase the workforce. Eno said a staff verification exercise conducted at the beginning of his administration uncovered more than 2,000 ghost workers, alongside several retired employees, revealing gaps in the workforce and the need to recruit qualified personnel to fill vacant positions. “The decision reflects the administration’s effort to strengthen the public service and ensure that government departments have the personnel needed to carry out their responsibilities effectively,” he stressed. The governor tasked the new employees to regard their appointments as an opportunity to serve the people and contribute to the development of the state.
