Civic Obligations Remain A  Fundamental Responsibility Of Every  Staff, Mrs Akinbobola.

By Asubiojo G .O

Mrs Akinbobola Deborah-Bosede, the Administrative and Accounting Officer  of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government,  has strongly and logically underscored the importance of responsible citizenship alongside professional service. She noted that beyond being discreet, honest, punctual, diligent, relevant, and forthright in the discharge of official duties—which constitute the foundation of staff livelihood and institutional relevance—civil servants must also recognize that these virtues align with societal values and contribute meaningfully to their moral and civic consciousness.

Mrs. Akinbobola made this assertion while addressing Directors and Officers during the regular Monday morning staff gathering and Administrative Management Meeting, where she encouraged staff to actively engage in civic responsibilities expected of them by government and society.

According to her, participation in civic processes is a clear demonstration of patriotism, accountability, and commitment to the collective progress of the state and the nation at large. She further urged staff to take deliberate interest in the democratic process by contributing to the emergence of focused, dynamic, and people-oriented leadership, stressing that civic engagement strengthens governance and reinforces public trust.

In this regard, she encouraged all eligible staff to participate in the ongoing civic registration exercise in Ekiti State as a lawful and responsible step toward affirming their relevance as good citizens and stakeholders in governance. She stated that such involvement reflects appreciation and support for the administration of His Excellency, Governor Oyebanji Abayomi, whose responsive leadership has continued to address the welfare and official needs of civil servants within Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government, and the local government service cum State civil service in Ekiti State,while also extending lawful civic support to Honourable Oluwatuyi Oluwagbenga, fondly known as CHENCO, in the forthcoming civic engagements within the state, in June and December, this year.

Mrs. Akinbobola further charged staff to remain committed to continuous self-development through further academic pursuits, emphasizing that personal growth, professional competence, and civic responsibility are interconnected pillars for career advancement, institutional integrity, and sustainable public service delivery.
