He added most of the staff from old Borno civil service are going on retirement soon.
“Employment opportunity will be open to our teeming graduates when the old hands leave the system after their 35 years of service.”
On non-payment of workers’ leave grant, he blamed the situation on the economy, assuring that government will resume payment in due course.
Mr. Abubakar also used the forum to called on the civil servants in the state to reciprocate the gesture by showing dedication to duty.
