The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori on Sunday, charged Permanent Secretaries and top management of the Delta State Civil Service to uphold professionalism and positively impact the state with their services.

Governor Oborevwori gave the charge at the 60th birth anniversary and retirement thanksgiving of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engineer Frederick Edafioghor, at St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Owhelogbo in Isoko North Local government area.

The Governor said leaving an impactful life in service was better than short-lived instant gain and advocated for sustainable excellence in service delivery.

He congratulated the celebrant, Engr. Edafioghor for putting his best while in service, a successful retirement and for attaining 60 years, and urged him to continue with his professional advice for the growth and development of the state.

The governor equally thanked the retired Permanent Secretary for his input in bringing Julius Berger to execute road and flyover projects in Warri and its environs.

He assured that his administration would continue to give its best and sued for the contribution of all stakeholders to fast-track the all-round development of the state.

While describing the retired Permanent Secretary as a thorough bred professional who contributed immensely to infrastructural development in the state, Governor Oborevwori urged serving officers to remain committed to rendering quality service for the people of the state.

He said just as Jesus was tempted by the devil, believers should stand firm when temptation comes their way so as not to lose the blessings that follow.

The chief celebrant, Engr. Edafioghor, who appreciated God for attaining 60 years and a successful retirement from service, commended Governor Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, for giving him the opportunity to make impact in the works sector.
