GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike has sworn in the Chairman and other board members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission, saying it is to fulfil his promise to promote workers and employ an additional 10,000 youths.
The board comprises a former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works, Clifford Ndu Walter (Chairman); Venerable Richard Okpara; Osima Gina; John Nalley; and Mike Elechi.
The board members were screened by the state assembly on Friday, a day after the governor made the promise during a visit by the new executive of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
During the Monday inauguration held at Government House, Wike acknowledged that the inauguration of the board was long overdue.
He emphasised that the only two assignments for the new board of the commission are to work out the promotion of workers at all levels, including their financial benefits, and begin the process of employing 10,000 youths into the service.
Wike said both assignments should be concluded in one month.
He advised the board members to request from the various ministries the areas of need to deploy the new employees appropriately for efficient service delivery.
