In a continuing tradition of unscheduled visits to government institutions and workplaces across the state, Governor Mallam Umar Namadi embarked on surprise inspections of Kiyawa, Jahun, Kafin-Hausa, and Miga local government areas today. The primary purpose of the visit was to personally assess the functioning of government facilities and the dedication of staff in these areas.
The places visited by the Governor included local government secretariats, health facilities, and various levels of schools, with notable institutions such as the Government Girls Science Secondary School in Jahun and Boys Science College in Kafin-Hausa being on the list.
During these impromptu visits, almost all of the secretariats appeared deserted, with offices locked and employees absent. Governor Namadi expressed deep disappointment at the nonchalant attitude to work displayed by the local government chairmen and staff in these areas.
Addressing the issue, Governor Namadi vowed to enforce discipline and uphold the law within the state government, regardless of a worker’s position or status. He emphasized the importance of maintaining effective service delivery in governance and declared his administration’s commitment to improving the well-being of the people in Jigawa State.
Governor Namadi expressed his dismay at the laxity and absenteeism of some local government chairmen and staff, underscoring the need for commitment and dedication in the public service. He pledged to hold defaulters accountable for their actions.
In addition, Governor Namadi extended his appreciation to the dedicated health workers and teaching staff at the health facilities and schools he visited. He encouraged them to adhere to established guidelines and principles and also to fear Allah in discharging their responsibilities, assuring them of his administration’s tireless efforts to promote the state’s best interests, as promised in his administration’s 12-point agenda blueprint.
The surprise visits to local government secretariats and other government institutions were a testament to Governor Namadi’s commitment to ensuring the efficient operation of all sectors in the state. It was also a direct response to his pledge to establish a transparent and accountable government for the betterment of Jigawa State.
