Anambra State Head of Service, Barrister Harry Udu has urged the state work force to be duty-driven as diligence is rewarded in due time.

Barrister Udu gave the advice while receiving the Public Servant of the year Award in his office at the Jerome Udoji state Secretariat Complex, Awka.

He expressed his gratitude to God for making it possible for him to serve the good people of Anambra State in that capacity and advised workers to go beyond the normal call of duty, if they desire to make an impact that would perhaps be recognized and awarded someday as according to him, no one attains any height in the service by just carrying out their normal duties.

Barrister Udu, who thanked Governor Willie Obiano for granting his consent to programmes that benefit the Anambra workforce, also thanked the officials of Nigerian Magazine that gave him the award for looking out for diligence secretly and rewarding openly.

Earlier, the leader of the team, Mr. Emmanuel Okon, congratulated the HOS for being a deserving award winner even as he noted that Anambra State remains a reference point to other states within the federation.
