The Vice President was received at the Asaba airport by the Delta State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.
Osinbajo that “the civil service is the very tip of the spear of governance, and optimal public service delivery requires an efficient civil service.
“Such a public service requires training, and capacity building but also workspaces that are well equipped, conducive, and inspirational. We have heard already how inspired the public servants today are and they are even spending long hours in the office.
“This is very commendable indeed. Public servants require environments that bring out the best in them. This secretariat complex will provide such an environment.”
