Delta State has relaunched the Service Compact, SERVICOM, initially introduced in 2008 through an executive order by a former governor.

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the state directed its reintroduction, saying it was an integral component for the execution and success of his MORE agenda.

His Senior Policy Adviser, Funkekeme Solomon, charged with the task of reintroducing the policy,  has already begun the exercise in all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

Solomon explained that Oborevwori urged civil servants to imbibe the virtues of diligence, timeliness, transparency and accountability in the discharge of their duties and provision of services.

He said: “Service is only meaningful when delivered with passion, respect and responsibility. All MDAs are required to compile a charter of their functions and responsibilities and post through public notices at the entrance to their offices.

“The idea is that the public should know where they can obtain the services they desire without having to seek such in the wrong offices.

“All commissioners and heads of agencies should ensure that policies and resource proposals presented for approval to the State Executive Council are based on evidence of the needs of the population.”
