Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori on Sunday, assured civil servants in the state that his administration will soon appoint permanent secretaries.
Gov. Oborevwori made the promise during a thanksgiving service held in honour of the Head of Service, Mrs. Mininim Oseji, at the Church of God Mission, Asaba Bishopric headquarters, on Sunday.
He said that the appointment of the permanent secretaries would be thorough, guided by due process and divine wisdom.
Praising God for His divine hand in the appointment of the head of service, Gov. Oborevwori commended Oseji’s journey in the civil service, acknowledging that her achievement was a testament to God’s favour, rather than human effort.
The governor lauded Oseji for entering her position with integrity and prayed that she would leave with the same virtue.
While urging her to maintain the integrity that has defined her career, Gov. Oborevwori emphasized the importance of gratitude, referencing Psalm 100:4, which encourages believers to “enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.”

Condemning the act of age falsification by some civil servants with the intention of extending their years of service, the governor lamented that such acts deprive younger, and more energetic persons the opportunity to be recruited.
He expressed satisfaction with the state civil service commission’s ongoing screening and age verification exercise and affirmed his full support for the exercise.
Earlier, Mrs. Mininim Oseji, has expressed her gratitude to God for the honour bestowed upon her, stating that she never thought she would reach such a pinnacle when she started her civil service career as a young medical officer.
The head of service congratulated Gov. Oborevwori on his second anniversary in office, just as she thanked everyone who attended the thanksgiving service.
