The Head of Service (HoS) in Delta State, Reginald Bayoko on Thursday urged civil servants to foster enduring relationships among themselves beyond the confines of the workplace in order to build stronger bonds and peaceful co-existence.
According to him, “It is essential that we know ourselves beyond the office space; know our houses, our siblings, for we are one family. It is necessary that we make conscious efforts to visit ourselves in our homes more often.”
Bayoko gave the counsel in Asaba when he led other senior civil servants on a condolence visit to the functioning Permanent Secretary, Office of the Head of Service, Mr. Patrick Ojeblenu over the demise of his father; Pa. Ojeblenu.
