Represented by the director occupational hazard and safety department, Dr Mrs Comfort Adeosun, Dr Yemi-Esan assured the workers that this year’s pillar which is number six, aims at improving the proposition and well being of the Federal Public Servants in the country, saying able workforce will be a productive workforce. “If you are not healthy, your performance will be low, thus affecting efficient service delivery to the citizenry”, Yemi-Esan said.

The former minister of youth and sports development, Barrister Solomon Dalung, who was one of the guest participants, advised civil servants to be resolute and not to lose hope in the present administration  but continue to provide unflinching support to the new leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in its resolve to  move the country forward.
