“I am here to deliver the Director General’s message, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, to boost staff performance and agency output,” he stated.

Miyere stressed the need for discipline and punctuality, warning that the agency would not condone indiscipline, absenteeism, or poor performance.

“We must work diligently to ensure the agency achieves optimal results,” he added.

He also tasked Community Orientation and Mobilisation Officers (COMOs) with improving their report writing skills.
