The Kebbi State Head of Service, Malami Shekare, has warned civil servants against habitual lateness to work, threatening disciplinary sanctions against workers who violate official working hours.\n<\/p>\n
Shekare issued the warning on Monday during a monitoring exercise at the Kebbi State Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi, where he inspected workers\u2019 arrival times alongside some permanent secretaries.\n<\/p>\n
He expressed displeasure over the failure of some civil servants, including senior officers, to report to work at the stipulated time.\n<\/p>\n
The Head of Service stressed that punctuality was a fundamental obligation for every public servant, irrespective of rank or position.<\/p>\n
He said the state government would no longer tolerate indiscipline and negligence capable of undermining productivity and effective service delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdherence to official working hours is a fundamental obligation of every public servant, regardless of rank or position,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
According to him, lateness undermines productivity, weakens institutional discipline and negatively affects the timely delivery of government services.<\/p>\n
Shekare noted that the civil service played a strategic role in implementing government policies and programmes, adding that workers must demonstrate professionalism, dedication and accountability in the discharge of their duties. <\/p>\n
He warned that the government would not condone any act of indiscipline that could compromise the efficiency and effectiveness of the state civil service.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe monitoring exercise is not merely a routine activity but part of a deliberate effort to restore and sustain discipline, strengthen accountability and ensure that public servants give their best in serving the people of Kebbi State,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
The Head of Service urged workers to take the warning seriously and comply strictly with established working hours and public service regulations.\n<\/p>\n
He emphasised that no officer would be exempted from disciplinary measures on account of seniority or position.\n<\/p>\n
According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Kebbi State Governor, Ahmed Idris, the exercise was part of the administration of Governor Nasir Idris\u2019s efforts to build a disciplined, responsive and results-oriented civil service.\n<\/p>\n
The statement added that the state government remained committed to promoting punctuality, professionalism and effective service delivery across the public service.<\/p>\n
