The Speaker  of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has  tasked workers at the State House of Assembly to shun indiscipline and laxity with a view to strengthen the administrative structure of the Assembly.

“The retreat is provoked by the yearning of the leadership of the House for high quality service delivery from bureaucracy in the house. This retreat is therefore an avenue for you as management to articulate sound ideas that will strengthen the administrative structure of the house.

“The success of the Assembly depends on the efficiency and effectiveness of your work. You must therefore raise your work ethos, imbibe good work ethics and lead the other staff by showing a good example of yourselves. I therefore enjoin you to shun indiscipline and laxity and embrace total obedience to the public service rules and regulations”.

On her part, the clerk, Delta State House of Assembly, Mrs Lyna Aliya  Ocholor, while thanking the Speaker for declaring the retreat open, pointed out that it will further expose staff of the Assembly to new ideas that will enable them work effectively for the good of the state.
