Bayelsa State Government caution civil servant in the state

    Bayelsa State Government has announced a number of stern measures, including outright dismissal of any of its workers who would be found culpable of absenteeism, truancy, payroll fraud and other sharp practices that are inimical to the public service rules.

   While issuing the stern measure, the government said it had made efforts to enhance the productivity and welfare of the workers.
   Spelling out the various sanctions while briefing reporters shortly after an interactive meeting between Governor Seriake Dickson and members of the State Executive Council, heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, in Yenagoa, the Secretary to State Government,  Serena Dokubo-Spiff, reiterated the present administration’s commitment to leaving a robust and result-oriented civil service.
  He pointed out that, though, the move was not aimed at witch-hunting any worker but that the new monitoring system requires every worker to report for duty on a daily basis and sign the attendance register already provided by the government, as failure to do so would attract severe penalties, including summary dismissal.
