Addressing the workers at the state secretariat in Awka to mark the 2015 Civil Service Day, Obiano enumerated some of the benefits he put in place to improve the welfare of workers.

He told them: “You matter to us. We know that a government that does not place the people first is doomed.

“I want to remind you that your plight is my plight, your pain is my pain and your joy is my joy. No responsible government goes to sleep when its workforce is having sleepless nights. Let me assure you once again that I shall continue to always stand by you; I will be there for you!

“At the same time, no government can improve the lots of its citizens without the cooperation and support of its civil servants. I urge you to put in your very best efforts in the service of Anambra State.

“I urge you to show greater appetite for work, a determined drive for excellence and a commitment to a better Anambra State. I can assure you that your efforts will neither go unnoticed nor your labours go unrewarded.”
