RAYMOND OZOJI reports
Investigations into the Anambra State Secretariat Complex Awka shows that the buildings are already developing cracks and the paintings depreciating by the day coupled with numerous other problems plaguing the secretariat complex which houses thousands of the state workforce.
HEADLINE NEWS gathered that water and electricity supply were two most pressing issues at the secretariat complex Awka. Due to lack of running water, workers most times do not use conveniences in the offices because of the absence of water to flush toilets after use instead they scampered into the bushes surrounding the secretariat complex to ease themselves.
Poor electricity supply is another perennial problem at the secretariat complex as the environment seemed like a production factory because of the noise pollution emanating from generators being used by various ministries due to incessant power outages. Workers most times improvised hand fans due to poor ventilation occasioned by lack of electricity supply.
It is therefore as a result of the foregoing and more that Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo responded swiftly to the demands of the office complex during the 2024 Civil/Public Servants Day Celebration held at the secretariat complex Awka.
Soludo who assured the workers of better working conditions, said his government is committed to ameliorating the situation at the secretariat complex. He said for constant electricity supply, government is working on solar system and other more cost effective means to power the secretariat complex always.
He said that potholes in the office complex will all be fixed to avoid risks of accidents accessing their offices. He observed that the office complex have started developing cracks and therefore assured workers that reinforcements would be built to support the building.
The governor maintained that plumbing and electrical systems for the three office complex would be taken into consideration too while staff development and welfare would be given priority attention and the public service mass transit scheme for workers revamped.
