Justify your appointment, Aiyedatiwa charges new commissioners, SA, HoS

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has enjoined all the newly sworn-in appointees to justify their appointments by showing their mettle in their new offices.

The six commissioners are Razaq Obe, Mrs Omowunmi Isaac, Olukayode Ajulo, Akinwunmi Sowore, Oyeniyi Oseni, and Emmanuel Igbasan. The special advisers include Mrs. Olamide Falana, Alabi Johnson, and Dr. (Mrs.) Olawunmi Ilawole.

Others are Summy Smart Francis, Mr. Babalola Joseph Ayoade, Comrade Abdulganiy Muhammed, Prof. Simidele Odimayo, and Gbenga Omole.

Governor Aiyedatiwa urged the new HoS to see himself as an ambassador, carrying the trust office for Ondo State’s public servants. He admonished him to regard his appointment as a call to service to provide the necessary leadership throughout the public service and prioritize the interests of the State in everything he does.

The governor said “Having worked and garnered varied experiences in different capacities across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), it is hoped that you will adroitly bring your wealth of experience to bear on your new appointment to further add value to our Administration, not only in terms of accountability but also in transparency.  You are to ensure that the resources of the State are not misappropriated while ensuring the continued optimal generation of revenue by the public service.  I wish you the best of luck.”

Governor Aiyedatiwa thanked all the appointees and enjoined them to justify their appointments and show their mettle in their new offices. He prayed that God Almighty would grant them the strength and ability to provide the people of Ondo State with effective and meaningful governance.
