According to him, “The Governor Godwin Obaseki-led government remains committed to reforming the civil and public service in Edo State and has embarked on several reforms and programmes to improve productivity and ensure the delivery of quality services to the people.
“Some of these reforms have translated to world-class training for the state workers at the John Odigie-Oyegun Training Centre, revamping of their working environment with the upgrade of the Block C and D Secretariat Complex, and the migration of work culture from analogue to a digital platform for efficiency, among others.”
