He testified that madam Djeilani helped to upgrade his knowledge on social security and many other courses since he came to head the CNPS.
These attributes, Akame Mvondo stated encouraged him to name her Chief of Centre at CNPS pilote Centre in Bassa, where reforms and experimentations on information applications were created. He added that without Madam Djielani, they would not have attained their objectives that efficiently had CNPS digitalised. The Director General continued that this type of result is characteristic of her person and that what she did was describe by him as a job of eternity which will remain in the history of the CNPS. He then advised others to emulate her example and not to be like the passing wind that passes without leaving a mark.
As for Mme Djeilani, she expressed gratitude to hierarchy and other directors and close collaborators who helped to bring about positive changes. She continued that in the CNPS they do not just work but produce results.
Mme Djeilani who confirmed for having served the CNPS for 34 years 4 months and 24 days disclosed that a new page is in the making in her history and it is not what to engage in that is lacking. “I will not withdraw or give up. I will be one moving in high spirits. I wish to share with you the secret of discipline, humility, improve the image of CNPS, loyalty, professionalism and no deviant behaviours” as the tools of success. Mme Djeilani who said she will also get involved in swimming and horse riding, was showered with blessings, many gifts and certificates of recognition such as flowers, deep freezers, washing machines and air conditioners from various associations both within and without the CNPS just to name a few. This was closely followed by prayers from the Imam to end part of the occasion’s activities.
