The Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has vowed to employ more health workers in the State as well as pay all outstanding salaries and arrears which he inherited from previous administration(s).
The governor who made this statement at the first annual prayer meeting organised by civil servants of the State thanked them for their supports so far, while promising that workers’ welfare shall continue to be the priority of his government.
According to Aiyedatiwa, “We will forge ahead with the approval already given for the recruitment of health workers as a way of strengthening the health sector while filling of vacancies will be done on regular basis as need arises.”
Commenting on the upcoming election, the Governor urged the civil servants to face their duties diligently and not allow themselves to be used by politicians for cheap political gains. He also counselled politicians to play the game by its rules, stating that election is not a do-or-die affair.
“This is an election year; let everyone know that the peace of the State is not negotiable and election is not a do or die affair,” the governor said.
On his part, the Head of Service, Pastor Kayode Ogundele, commended the governor for his unflinching support for public servants in the State at all times. He further hinted that the payment of salaries in percentages has become a thing of the past.
Present at the occasion were heads of security agencies in the State, religious leaders, members of the State Executive Council and other top government functionaries, who prayed for peace, progress and stability to reign in the State.
