Following his promise to boost the morale of civil servants in the state, Governor Umaru Tanko Al-makura of Nasarawa state has promoted 9,000 civil servants in the state Civil Service.
The governor disclosed this yesterday in Lafia, during the opening ceremony of Phase 1 training for civil servants in the state with the theme: “Inclusive Governance as key to sustainable development: The Role of Public Service”.
