Kogi State Head of Civil Service Dr Elijah Evinemi has charged young civil servants in the state to embrace discipline and continuous learning to enhance their efficiency and productivity.
Evinemi gave the charge at a reception by the committee of friends to celebrate his exceptional career and academic attainment.
The event honoured his decades-long service to the state and his recent academic milestone, the successful completion of a doctorate degree in accounting and finance.
The head of service who reaffirmed his commitment to merit-driven reform, digital innovation and integrity in service delivery, expressed profound appreciation to Governor Ahmed Ododo for his trust and support.
Reflecting on his rise from a junior clerical officer to the pinnacle of the civil service, he said, “Everything I am today, I owe to God, and to those He (God) sent to guide me. From those early days as a clerk, I never stopped learning. I thank my family, my mentors, my colleagues, and everyone who gave me a reason to keep moving.”
He thanked the organizing committee, his family, friends and all civil servants for their support throughout his journey.
Chairman of the organising committee, Alhaji Adeiza Momohjimoh, described Dr. Evinemi as a beacon of hard work, discipline and academic excellence.
