Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, Tuesday, swore-in 12 new Permanent Secretaries and Auditor-General, Local Government, warning them against bullying their directors and other lower grade workers.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony, Okowa also advised them not to gag subordinates and hinder the free flow of ideas that would ensure proper coordination and growth of the civil service, urging them to allow ideas from them to flow for good governance of the state.
Noting that the best public officer was the one who received advice from his subordinates and put them to good use, he said “the best permanent secretary, commissioner and governor is the one who has his ears opened to receive advice, because there is a lot of lessons to be learnt from everybody; so don’t look down on people.
