Managing director of the Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC), Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq Yelwa said the agency had developed social safety measures to mitigate the impact of current economic situation in the country on its workforce.
He said the members of staff of the commission like other civil servants in the country are going through resource crunch which will be impacting on their capacity to effectively deliver on their mandate hence the need for the intervention.
Yelwa made the assertion at the opening session of a retreat organised for directors, legal officers and secretaries on regulatory compliance, opinion writing, policy document drafting, and record management for effective and efficient service delivery by the commission in collaboration with Levite Solicitors and Arbitrators in Minna, Niger State.
The HYPPADEC chief executive said the commission awaits policies to be put in place by the federal government to serve as a guide in coming up with its safety nets and possible wage review.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking bold steps to reposition the country’s economy and urged the staff and entire Nigerians to persevere, remain steadfast and support the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President for a better Nigeria.
Yelwa told the participants that, it is necessary to hold the workshop in order to keep abreast of the central mandate of the commission.
