The Bayelsa State Head of Service, Dr. Wisdom Ebiye Sawyer, mni, has charged Environmental Health Officers in the state to obtain their practising licences to enhance professionalism and improve service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gave the charge when a delegation led by Sanitarian Ruanovbe Joseph, State President of the Environmental Health Officers\u2019 Association of Nigeria (EHOAN), Bayelsa State Chapter, paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the Head of Service at the State Secretariat Complex, Annex 6, Yenagoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sawyer noted that Environmental Health Officers cannot effectively practice without the required professional licence, and urged members of the association to organise an Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) to properly coordinate and process necessary information through relevant bodies for the acquisition of practising licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Head of Service further disclosed that a committee would be set up to address issues relating to the practising licence of Environmental Health Officers in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the State President of the Environmental Health Officers\u2019 Association of Nigeria (EHOAN), Bayelsa State Chapter, Sanitarian Ruanovbe Joseph, stated that obtaining practising licences has remained a major challenge for members of the association, and appealed for government support in resolving the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other members of the delegation included Sanitarian Etele Peter, Sanitarian Obalafakuma Daufa, Sanitarian Virginia Ebimie, and Sanitarian Calmday Ayebaifie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
