Delta HoS Distributes Seedlings To Civil Servants

By MERCY NEME

DELTA Head of Service, Dr. Mininim Oseji, has distributed tomato and pepper seedlings to Permanent Secretaries and staff in key government offices.

The initiative, launched on Tuesday, seeks to promote homestead farming among civil servants.

Speaking in Asaba, Oseji said the scheme aimed at boosting food security, encouraging agriculture, and supplementing the income of civil servants in the state.

She added that the effort would enable civil servants to contribute to the state’s food production and reduce dependence on external sources.

“This initiative is designed to promote self-sufficiency and sustainability in food production while providing additional income for civil servants,” she explained.

Oseji further noted that it would foster a culture of self-reliance among employees, empowering them to grow their own food.

She said the programme aligned with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s ‘MORE Agenda’, which focuses on economic growth and sustainability.

Responding, the Permanent Secretary in the Head of Service’s office, Mr. Maxwell Ause, commended the initiative.

He assured that the scheme would motivate civil servants to embrace agriculture.
