The Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has decried lack of maintenance culture among civil servants in the country.
Speaking on Tuesday at Nana College, Warri, where he paid an unscheduled inspection tour of facilities, Governor Uduaghan said it was wrong for the recently installed facilities to be in unkempt state.
He stated that his administration would not condone a situation where government properties were taken for granted and ordered that government properties should be handled with care.
The governor rhetorically asked the teacher at the Physics Laboratory if she would allow her personal residence to be so unkempt.
Dr. Uduaghan reiterated that continuous monitoring of government property to prevent misuse would be carried out by him, his commissioners and political aides.
In an interview, the governor observed that, obviously, the teachers were yet to understand how to manage the ultra-modern equipment in the recently constructed and equipped colleges, assuring that there will be constant monitoring of how such equipment are used to ensure that they stand the test of time and also used for the purpose they were acquired for.
Governor Uduaghan later participated in a Social Studies lecture for Junior Secondary 2 students where he rendered advice on career choice.
Dr. Uduaghan, who commenced the inspection tour at about 8.30am, also inspected Atuwatse II Model Primary School, the Mother and Child Hospital, Warri and the Government Baptist Hospital, Eku.
