Aregbesola seeks workers commitment to enhance service delivery

Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has implored public servants in the state to redouble their effort towards increased productivity.

He spoke at a lecture and award programme‎ organised by the Office of the Head of Service and the state Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).

The governor appreciated the workers in the state for being supportive of his administration since inception.

He described Osun workforce as one of the best in the world, saying his government had been privileged to work with outstanding civil servants in the last eight years.

Aregbesola who titled his speech, “The Good Service,” charged civil servants to maintain the spirit of resilience, productivity and hard work which his administration had laid in all sectors.

He described the civil service as the engine room of government, noting that it has become imperative on every worker to justify his, or her income with efficiency, effectiveness and diligence to duty.

He said: “There is the need for the service to double its effort by increasing productivity. The concept of productivity in the public sector is not as clear as in the private sector. In the later, the balance sheet is the ultimate judge and it is indisputable when your account is in surplus or otherwise.”

The Head of Service, Dr. Olowogboyega Oyebade, and pioneer Secretary to Osun State Government and Chairman of the ‎occasion, Moses Inaolaji Aboaba, described the eight years of Aregbesola’s administration as most successful, fulfilling and outstanding in the history of the state.

The guest lecturer and Vice Chancellor of Osun State University, Prof. Labode Popoola, commended the administration for fulfilling its mandate to the people.
