Outgoing Head of Service congratulates Successor

The outgoing Cross River State Head of Service, Barr. (Mrs.) Geraldine Akpet-Ekanem has congratulated Mr. Timothy Ogbang Akwaji on his recent appointment as her Successor.

Mrs. Akpet-Ekanem, who described the appointment as “well-deserved,” said Mr. Akwaji’s elevation did not come as a fluke, but by dint of hard work through a career that is reminiscent of service to the State and Country.

The outgoing technocrat further stated that her successor is replete with the requisite capacity to succeed, likening his emergence as “a round peg in a round hole.” She called on the State workforce to give the incoming Head of Service the utmost support to better the Service in particular and the State at large.

She further stated that in line with the Public Service Rules, she is due to retire from the State Civil Service, effective 12 January, 2022; after 35 years of meritorious service to her dear State.

The consummate technocrat also revealed that in view of her statutory retirement as Head of Service, it is proper to leave in order to give the next most senior Permanent Secretary the opportunity to appropriately get to the top of his career in the Service. She therefore called on all Civil Servants irrespective of their ranks to retire from Service as at when due, to allow their subordinates grow in the Service.

“My decision not to stay beyond 12th January, 2022, as amplified in my first meeting with Directors in the Service, has produced a new Head of Service as announced by His Excellency Sir Ben Ayade,” Akpet-Ekanem remarked.

The fulfilled senior citizen used the opportunity to sincerely thank Governor Ayade for availing her the opportunity to serve in such an exalted capacity and contribute her quota to the development of the State.

Mr. Timothy Ogbang Akwaji, until his appointment, was the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of International Development Cooperation and Provost of the College of Permanent Secretaries in the State.
