Written by News Desk on November 22, 2024
Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has said that his administration would continue to advocate ethical and effective leadership in the civil/public service of the state.
He stated this at the 2024 Theophilus Akinyele Memorial Symposium themed “Reinventing Leadership and Ethics in Public Service,” held in Ibadan.
Governor Makinde said most of the challenges being faced by the country were due to the dearth of ethical and effective leadership at the level of civil/public service.
He lauded the late former Head of Service/Secretary to the State Government, Pa Theophilus Akinyele, for his service to the state and the nation, noting that he and his contemporaries, who joined the civil/public service at the time, were the best of the best and they showed dedication to the country.
Governor Makinde added that his decision to prioritise the welfare of workers through the prompt payment of salaries on 25th of every month and other measures had helped in reinventing and creating stability for workers in the state and also led to positive changes in their attitude to work.
