Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe has approved the appointment of 102 new directors in the state civil service.

The head of the civil service, Bappayo Yahaya, stated this at a news conference on Monday in Gombe.

Mr Yahaya said the appointments were based on merit, reward for hard work and dedication to duty in compliance with rules and conditions guiding the service.

He tasked the new directors to see their appointments as a clarion call to rededicate themselves to duty and show commitment in the service of the state.

Mr Yahaya lauded the governor’s determination to reposition the civil service for efficient service delivery, through the ongoing biometric verification.

He said that the reform was designed to weed out ghost workers to enable the government to pay salaries and recruit new workers.
