NO CASE OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION IN TARABA STATE – GOVERNOR ISHAKU
Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State
The Taraba State government has debunked a story published in The Guardian newspaper edition of Thursday April 2, 2020 claiming that Taraba State now has one positive case of Coronavirus infection as false.
A statement by the Senior Special Adviser to the governor on media and publicity, Bala Dan Abu said that Taraba State, as at today, has NO case of Coronavirus virus infection.
It further added that the management of the newspaper has accordingly acknowledged its mistake and has today ( April 3, 2020) published a retraction.
“I wish to use this medium to urge the general public to disregard the falsehood published earlier by The Guardian as well as the reactions that have trailed it on social media”.
The administration of Gov Darius Dickson Ishaku has worked very hard to achieve this zero-infection figure. We give credit for this to Almighty God and the people of the state for cooperating with the administration on this very critical issue”.
Abu urged the public to continue to adhere to the rules of personal hygiene and social distancing and to avoid handshakes, as the state government will do everything possible to mitigate the pains of the lockdown which begins at 11pm today in the state.
“Together we shall work to keep Coronavirus out of Taraba State. Join us” the statement concluded.
Against the usual practice of picking from the top echelon of the Civil Service, Ebonyi State Governor, Chief David Umahi on Tuesday threw the position of Head of Service (HoS) of the state open, asking civil servants on Grade Level 14 and above to apply within two weeks.
Umahi, in a statement by the Commissioner of Information and State Orientation, Mr Uchenna Orji, said civil servants across the 13 LGAs of the state are qualified to apply within two weeks.
“The Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi requests applications from Civil Servants from Grade Level 14 and above to fill the vacancy of the Head Of Service (HOS), who shall be bowing out of Civil Service on 30th June 2021 after a meritorious and selfless service to the government and people of Ebonyi State,” the statement read in part.
The Governor further directed the civil servants to forward their applications to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG): “All applications are to be addressed to the Secretary to the State Government and Coordinating Commissioner, and submitted with all relevant credentials no later than 30th June, 2021.
Umahi added that “In replacing the outgoing Head of Service, the Government will be looking for the best for the State to continue the good work that the outgoing Head of Service began.
He applauded the loyalty, committed efforts and selfless service rendered by the out-going Head Of Service, Dr. Chamberlain Nwele, in the state and wished him well in his future endeavours.
