The governor, while speaking at the occasion said: "Today, we are witnessing another symbolic representation of our administration’s commitment towards providing good governance based on fairness, inclusiveness, equity and justice.
"I must also say that in all that we do for over a year now, we have always observed due process, transparency and wide consultation. And, the appointment of Alhaja Selimot Olapeju Ottun, as the new Head of Service, is therefore a product of thoroughness, meritorious service, proven managerial credentials and capabilities.
"Our administration recognizes the importance of the Public Service to the realization of our goals. And, for this reason, we have remained committed to placing the Public Service on a good stead to perform its statutory function for the citizens of Ogun State and towards the successful implementation of our collective mission of 'Building our Future Together' Agenda.
"We will continue to ensure that the Ogun State Public Service has not just any type of leadership, but the right leadership".
Great Achiever Magazine reports that Governor Abiodun congratulated the new Head of Service for being found worthy of the appointment.
"Let me use this opportunity to remind our new Head of Service that, you are being appointed at a crucial time in the development process and improving on the fortune of our dear state.
"You are coming at a time that the Public Service must demonstrate the right attitude to resuscitate the ailing economy as a result of the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy of which Nigeria, nay Ogun State, is not immuned", the governor concluded.
Abiodun charged the new Head of Service to ensure that the Public Service under her watch exhibits the positive attitude that will engender a symbiotic Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for the good of the state and the people.
The governor added that the kind of leadership provided by Alhaja Ottun as Head of Service will go a long way towards the successful realization of that goal.
"You have been chosen out of many others who are equally qualified, experienced, and possess the prerequisite skills to lead the Ogun State Public Service.
" You should therefore see this call to duty as a challenge. I will urge you as the new Head of Service to act conscientiously and dutifully to preserve the legacy and success of the proud pioneers and forebears of the Public Service in Ogun State and Nigeria. And as the 5th female and 19th Head of Service of Ogun State, I charge you to improve and surpass the brilliant performance of the past Heads of Service in Ogun State", Abiodun said.
Governor Abiodun, while congratulating the newly sworn-in members of the State Executive Council on their appointments said: "As you are aware, the State Executive Council Meeting is usually held on a weekly basis. As part of efforts towards ensuring effective delivery on our priorities, we have instituted a system to track the progress against what we have committed to do to achieve these objectives".
