The Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has sworn in five new Permanent Secretaries into the State Civil Service. The new Permanent Secretaries are Dr.
Shamsideen Allison (Lagos State Primary Health Care Board); Engr. Saliu
Adeyemi (Ministry of the Environment); Mr. Senayon Hundeyin (Ministry of
Home Affairs); and Mrs. Yetunde Odejayi (Deputy Governor’s Office) and
Mrs. Florence Ebunoluwa Oluwasuji (Permanent Secretary/Tutor General,
Education District V).
Gov. Ambode urged the new officials to come
up with innovative ideas that would deepen the impact of his
administration’s policies and programmes on the people.
“You must see this appointment as a
challenge and a privilege for you to join the political leadership of
your various agencies and other members of the distinguished Body of
Permanent Secretaries to deliver to our people a Lagos that provides
leadership with commitment to accountability, probity and transparency;
geographical expansion where opportunities will be limitless under a
secured environment,” Ambode was quoted as saying in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna.
He explained further (Mr Ambode) that the new permanent
secretaries were chosen based on merit, adding, “We have left no one in
doubt about our strong belief in the capacity of the Public Servants of
our State as the engine for the actualisation of our vision and dream to
transform our State to become Africa’s model megacity and preferred
destination for investment and tourism.
“These appointments like others that we
have done since we came into office, were not just meant to fill vacant
positions, but rather a process, well thought out to match vision with
human capital.”
