The chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, Dr Tukur Ingawa, has observed that the main goal in office of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari, was the repositioning of Nigeria to make it work better for all citizens.
In a condolence message he addressed to the president, the commission’s boss observed that what would be missed most about his demise was his deft managerial ability especially at this critical phase in the nation’s history.
The former Chief of Staff died in a Lagos hospital last Friday from complications related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
While condoling the president, Tukur noted that Kyari’s death was a painful one given his commitment to implementing the administration’s development agenda.
