Ekiti Local Government Service Commission Board Receives Briefs.

Following the assumption of office of the Board members of the Ekiti Local Government Service Commission, Heads of Local Government Administration and Directors have taken turns to brief them on the activities, challenges and projections of the various departments in the Commission.

 This is part of the activities designed to intimate the Board members with the operations of the Commission.

Addressing the career officers at the beginning of the briefing, the Chairman of the Commission, Chief Alaba Abejide, who was represented by Comrade Olusegun Onaade, assured  workers that the Board will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that their career progression receives the utmost attention it deserves.

He lauded the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, for placing workers welfare on the front burner, and challenged the staff to reciprocate the gesture by imbibing work ethics to enable the governor deliver on his mandate, especially on grassroots development.

Each of the Directors took time to highlight the activities of their departments. 

The Board members challenged the Information and Civic Orientation Department across the LGAs/LCDAs to rise to the occasion as their roles in information dissemination on government programmes and policies aimed at making life more meaningful for the people at the grassroots should not be treated with disdain, noting that the Directors of Information should be supported in this regard.

The Board stressed that “information is key and powerful because it is only through adequate information in the public domain that the people can appreciate and acknowledge the various giant strides that Governor Oyebanji is making in the provision of socio-economic infrastructure can be known”, adding that all hands must be on deck in the tasks of lifting the state out of poverty.

Meanwhile, the Commissioners  have been allocated portfolios in their official assignments. Mr. Olawole Adedipe is Commissioner in charge of Budget, Planning, Research, Statistics and Procurement; Mr. Wole Olujobi holdsTraining and Manpower Development and Information Services Commissioner portfolio; Hon Cecilia Dada is Commissioner in charge of Environmental Health and Community Development.

 Others are Prince Suyi Aladesanmi in charge of General Administration, Central Audit and Legal Services; Hon. Febisola Adewale is the Commissioner in charge of Appointment, Posting and Special Duties while Comrade Segun Onaade is Commissioner in charge of Establishment and Management Services.

In her remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Local Government Service Commission, Mrs Titilayo Toba-Ojo, who thanked  Governor Oyebanji for his various intervention supports to the local government service, assured the board members that the workers were determined to ensure the success of the administration’s "shared prosperity through shared responsibility".
