In a concerted effort to maintain a clean and healthy working environment, staff of the Nasarawa State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources have fully complied with the directive of the Commissioner, Barr. Isaac Danladi, by engaging in an aggressive sanitation exercise across the ministry’s offices and premises.
The sanitation exercise, which involved thorough cleaning of offices, corridors, and surrounding areas, was initiated in response to the commissioner’s insistence on high hygiene standards within the ministry. Staff members actively participated in sweeping, scrubbing, and waste disposal, ensuring that the workplace remains conducive for both employees and visitors.
Barr. Isaac Danladi had earlier expressed concern over the untidy state of some offices and facilities within the ministry, emphasizing the need for cleanliness as a fundamental aspect of workplace efficiency and public health. His directive was clear: all employees must take responsibility for maintaining a clean environment to prevent health hazards and create a more productive workspace.
Speaking on the exercise, some staff members lauded the commissioner’s initiative, noting that a clean environment fosters a positive work atmosphere and enhances overall well-being. They pledged to sustain the momentum by making cleanliness a routine practice rather than a one-time effort.
Observers have commended the commissioner’s proactive approach, stating that his leadership is fostering a culture of discipline and responsibility within the ministry. The move is also seen as aligning with the broader environmental policies of the state government, which prioritize sanitation and public health.
With this renewed commitment to hygiene, the Nasarawa State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources is setting an example for other government institutions, reinforcing the importance of cleanliness in enhancing workplace efficiency and service delivery.
