Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has called on civil servants in the state to adhere to principles of probity, transparency, and prudence while fostering teamwork in their duties.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti on Monday during the swearing-in ceremony of four new permanent secretaries, Oyebanji emphasized the need for innovation and technology in government operations. He urged the new officials to bring “creativity, compassion, and vigour” to their roles.
The newly appointed permanent secretaries are Mrs. Funke Ajibola, Mr. Michael Boluade, Mr. Foluso Akinwumi, and Mr. Rotimi Akomolede.
Oyebanji stressed the importance of these roles, stating, “You must see yourselves as both managers of human and material resources of government. You must therefore be committed to probity, transparency, and prudence, especially at a time like this. As human resource managers, you will be expected to foster an atmosphere of teamwork, confidence building, and collective responsibility.”
He also highlighted the necessity for leadership and problem-solving capabilities, saying, “You should be a leader who inspires others and a solution provider. You must also embrace innovation and technology.”
With his administration approaching its two-year mark, Oyebanji urged the new secretaries to intensify their efforts, noting, “All permanent secretaries must double up and increase the tempo of service delivery to achieve the shared prosperity agenda of government as it relates to their ministries, departments, and agencies.”
Head of Service, Sunday Komolafe, expressed gratitude to Oyebanji for the opportunity to serve and praised the governor for his various welfare initiatives benefiting civil servants in the state.
