Taraba Head of Service assures anti-corruption commission of continued support
Taraba State Official Pledges Support for Anti-Corruption Commission
Dr. Hamidu Ahmed Kara, the Head of Civil Service for Taraba State, reassured the leadership and staff of the Taraba State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission of his office’s commitment to enhancing institutional efficiency and service delivery.
Kara made this pledge during an unannounced visit to the Commission’s headquarters on Saturday. He noted that the visit aimed to foster inter-agency collaboration, boost staff morale, and improve operational synergy among government institutions.
In his address to the Commission’s leadership, Kara emphasized the determination of his office to support the anti-corruption agency in fulfilling its mandate. “You have the total support of my office, and that commitment will remain steadfast. Whatever assistance the Office of the Head of Civil Service can render to enable you to fully execute your mandate, we will readily provide,” he stated.
Kara urged the Commission to broaden its oversight efforts beyond financial issues to encompass administrative and technical matters within the public service. He highlighted that corruption and institutional bottlenecks extend beyond financial mismanagement, asserting that lapses in administration and technical areas can significantly hinder effective service delivery.
“Corrupt practices and institutional bottlenecks extend far beyond financial mismanagement; technical and administrative lapses also require rigorous oversight,” Kara remarked. He pledged to work closely with the Commission to streamline and implement administrative processes across the state civil service.
Responding to these remarks, Major General Habila Panyan Shon Zing Vintennaba (retd), Chairman of the Commission, announced the introduction of a digital portal. This new online platform will allow members of the public to submit complaints quickly and securely. He explained that this initiative aims to enhance accessibility, strengthen public feedback mechanisms, and facilitate easier reporting of issues requiring the Commission’s attention.
