Speaking
during the thanksgiving service at the weekend held at Grace and Progress
Family Chapel, Asaba to honour the state Head of Service, Mr. Reginald Bayoko
on his appointment and 50th birthday celebration, Governor
Okowa said that the civil service as the engine room of governance needed to be
restructured into a more dedicated, effective and efficient service with
service delivery as its watchword.
“There
is the need to rebuild the civil service and this must start from the heart, as
governance is from the heart, there is the need for dedication, efficiency and
effectiveness, it is not all about money. We need more dedicated civil servants
while weeding out the bad ones”, he said.

While
describing Mr Bayoko as a man of many firsts, the governor congratulated him on
his appointment and birthday celebration stating that “your appointment is
God’s will, He has decided to make you Head of Service at this time and at the
age of 50, so that you can restructure and re-engineer the service as you have
a long time on the seat, there is a lot to be done to rebuild the service, we have
a lot of good civil servants but there are also some bad ones”.
He
charged religious leaders to continue to pray for the nation and the state
especially in this difficult times as only God through prayers could heal the
nation and restore its glory.
Earlier
in a sermon, Bishop Chuka Agwegbo admonished Christians to always praise God
with understanding for his favours in their life. He charged Mr. Bayoko to keep
praising God for His favours in his life, be loyal to God, the government, and
use his position for the edification of God’s kingdom, his family, the
administration and humanity.
