FG Targets Works Ministry’s Staff Welfare as Priority

The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing plans to make staff priority welfare in order to motivate the workers to give their best to the service of the nation.

The Permanent Secretary, Babangida Hussaini was quoted, as saying this during the handing over of newly acquired four 36-seater Toyota Coaster buses to the staff of the ministry through their union, the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE).

Hussaine commended the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, for granting an approval for the procurement of the buses.

The Permanent Secretary promised that more staff buses would be procured while the old ones would be refurbished as soon as proposals from reputable motor mechanics were considered for approval.

On his part, the Director, Human Resources, Ministry of Works and Housing, Umar Utono, also commended the initiative.

The Chairman of the ministry’s branch of AUPCTRE, Sunday Sanusi, said, “When I heard that these vehicles have been purchased, it was like a dream to me. I am using this opportunity to say thank you to the Permanent Secretary and the management for making it a reality.”
