The Okobo Transition Committee Chairman, Mr. Atta Okon Atta has warned staff in the council against poor attitude to work, calling for a change even as he inaugurated three committees.
Inaugurating the committees for Recovery of Government Property; Housing Estate and Security Village; and Committee on Staff Attitude to Work of the three committees last Thursday at the Council Hall, Okopedi, Mr. Atta condemned the attitude of civil servants and political office holders who after their transfer or tenure of office still keep back government property, particularly vehicles, saying that his administration will no longer take it lightly with those concerned.
On the occupation of state government housing estate and security village by unauthorized persons in the area, he said government will not hesitate to eject illegal occupants once the Committee report was out, while the authorized ones will be made to sign tenancy agreement as well as pay rents to the Council.
Charging the committee members to take their assignments seriously and consider it a challenge, he assured staff of the council of his administration’s desire to attend to their welfare needs.
