According to Governor Otti: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Benson Ojeikere, former Permanent Secretary of the Abia State Government House, as the new Head of Service for the Abia State Civil Service.
Originally from Edo State, Mr. Ojeikere completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Abia State, where he distinguished himself as the best Youth Corps member and was subsequently granted automatic employment by the government of the time. Over the years, he has served diligently in the civil service, steadily rising through the ranks. Notably, he was also among the best in the Permanent Secretary examination category.
Our administration is motivated by a commitment to transforming governance and fostering a robust civil service. We aim to build a system where meritocracy triumphs over mediocrity, and where the best and brightest can rise to the top, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds.
As Mr. Ojeikere assumes his new role, I urge all Permanent Secretaries and Civil Servants to extend their full support and cooperation to him.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the outgone Head of Service, Dr. (Mrs) Ngozi Queen Obioma, for her exemplary leadership and significant contributions to the Abia State Civil Service.”
