Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has approved the deployment of 35 staff to the State House of Assembly Service Commission.
The deployment is aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of inadequate staffing in the legislative arm of government, which has hindered effective service delivery.
According to a press statement signed by Principal Information officer, House of Assembly Service Commission Joshua Danmalam, the governor’s swift response came after the issue was brought to his attention, and he worked closely with the Head of Civil Service and the Civil Service Commission to facilitate the deployment.
The Civil Service Commission, led by Hajiya Rabi Shuaibu Jimeta, collaborated with the House of Assembly Service Commission to source suitable candidates from various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies within the state civil service.
The newly deployed staff represent all 24 state assembly constituencies, ensuring a fair and equitable distribution.
Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Suleiman Abubakar, praised Governor Yahaya for his timely intervention, noting that the deployment will significantly enhance the operations of the legislative arm.
“The governor’s approval for the deployment of these staff is a clear demonstration of his commitment to strengthening the legislative arm of government,” Abubakar said.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the House of Assembly Service Commission, Hajiya Aishatu Hari Abdulkadir, charged the new staff to take their responsibilities seriously.
“I urge you all to be dedicated, punctual, and of good conduct. The commission does not condone truancy and acts contrary to civil service rules and regulations,” Abdulkadir said.
