Fisheries and Livestock Minister Mohammed Aminur Rashid has urged newly-joined officers to discharge their duties with honesty, dedication, and professionalism, alongside applying their talents and skills to the fullest.
He noted that the country’s future significantly depends on their decisions and sense of responsibility.
Addressing newly-appointed officers of 45th BCS Fisheries and Livestock Cadres on Sunday at the Fisheries and Livestock Ministry, he underscored the pivotal role of civil servants in national development.
Highlighting that a government officer’s career spans approximately 25 to 32 years, the minister said officers have long-term opportunities to work in policy formulation and implementation.
Inspired by patriotism, everyone must work together to build a safer, more beautiful, and livable world, as well as a prosperous Bangladesh for future generations.
He further stressed that to ensure safe food production, inputs used in production must be made safe alongside fish, meat, milk, and eggs.
He called upon the fresh officers to play an effective role in controlling the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the fisheries and livestock sector.
Pointing out that antibiotic residues entering the human body through food increase the risk of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the minister emphasised that ensuring the rational use of antibiotics is essential to tackle the situation.
Speaking on the occasion, State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku said struggle, perseverance, and dedication are required for success at every stage of life.
He urged officers to demonstrate skill and competence in the workplace and discharge their responsibilities ethically in line with state expectations.
The state minister added that officers must work for the welfare of the nation with patriotism in their hearts.
He urged them to build a beautiful and prosperous Bangladesh for future generations by upholding Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s “Bangladesh First” spirit.
He also stressed the strict adherence to laws and rules while discharging official duties, calling upon officers to meet public expectations through systematic service.
