The Secretary to Adamawa State Government, Dr Umar Bindir, has expressed disappointment with the attitude of some commissioners who he said were fun of taking files from their ministry directly to the state Governor for approvals.
Bindir who was speaking Monday at the opening ceremony of an Executive Retreat organized for commissioners and other top government officials in Yola also said that some ministries could not produce records of projects the executed.
Bindir said such measures by those commissioners which included not liaising with their Permanent Secretaries and Director budget was not inline with due process and must stopped.
The feelers from many quarters in Adamawa state for long, is the relationship between the SSG and the state’s commissioners is getting sour base on how the SSG portray himself as “Mr perfect “.
A commissioner in one of the Ministry who pleaded for anonymity said Bindir never treats their files at the needed time, that he stock untreated files for a long period of time, even if he will,he may want them to be begging and petting him as if they are political tugs.
He added that the SSG is frustrating the praising work of the state’s working Governor and as some of his type do not want to frustrate the Governor’s work in the state they have to bypassed him to go to the Governor that has a listening ear and want Adamawa state to progress.
“I have never seen it else where an SSG want to assume the office of the Governor at all times, it even surprises me the way he carry himself about, claiming is Mr perfect and above even to be corrected”. He said
The Hon Commissioners are doing the right thing because he always pretending he is perfect and best while reverse is the case.
Adamawa state SSG should adjust to the way he treated not only the commissioners files but people in all. So many complain are been laid from layman’s to the professional on how he is but despite that we are encouraging him to know that we all want to move Adamawa forward.As for the commissioners if it is a protocol that every files most go through the SSGs office before it laid to the governor desk,we urge them to kindly abide by the said rules in other to have successful government.
The main objective of retreat is to discuss and share experiences with a view to improve the system.Everyone in government has a role which most be respected or otherwise you get the system heats.Even before the advant of due process there is office procudure or process on how work is done.Therefore people should learn the simple office procedures and be ready to act is only when opinion are respected based on the norms of the civil service then we get our principals perform . Adamawa State congratulations for the retreat wish all participants success in improving system and move Adamawa State as Bindow is in fact working very hard
