President Jonathan Wants New Head of Service to Rid the Civil Service of Corruption

prePresident Goodluck Jonathan has sworn in the new Head of Service of the Federation, Alhaji Goni Bukar Ali, and the president has directed the new Head of Service to rid the service of indiscipline and corruption.

Speaking shortly after administering the oath of office on him, the president told Ali, whose appointment followed the retirement of Ibrahim Sali, last week, that the change of the leadership of the service came at a time when his administration was not only taking stock of what it had accomplished so far, but expediting action and articulation on what was yet to be done.

Particularly drawing his attention to the ongoing reforms which, he said, were aimed at the nation’s rapid economic development, President Jonathan directed the head of service of the federation to pursue with vigour, the true implementation of the performance management system in the civil service.

According to the president, “I believe it’s full implementation will positively improve the ability of civil servants to discharge their responsibilities. I also expect that you will intensify your efforts to enhance discipline and curtail corruption in the service,” he stated. He also tasked Ali to build on the achievements of his predecessors, so as to complete on-going reforms in the service: “In particular, you must focus on those sectors that will help the administration to deliver with urgency believes and benefits which are the core of our survival as a people, such as agriculture, infrastructure, education, health, amongst others,” the president said.

  1. WHAT A JOKE! He is the first corrupt officer and a product of corruption! Why do we deceive ourselves? A 1984 graduate .GL 08 becoming Chief Admin. Officer .GL 14 in 1989. In the best of practices and all things being equal, A journey of 15 years took him just 4years. By 1991, hwithin 2 years he rose to r an equivalent position of a Permanent Secretary before , through their usual practice transfer his service from State to Federal. Are the civil servants blind to this anomaly? Graduates of 1978 are Deputy Directors as at today . HE CANNOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING JUST LIKE HIS PREDECESSORS APART FROM ORONSAYE and ABU OBE
