“You will all agree that I made a fantastic choice. From what I can see, from how enthusiastic you are, I am sure you will all cooperate with him,” he noted.
“There is time for everything, and when it is time for work, you should all face your work. Get to your office early and do your work. I will make sure everybody smile but you must do your work,” he added.
Governor Adeleke noted that payment of salary for workers in the state had already commenced, adding that he will not disappoint the workers and people of the state.
“All MDAs have complied with my directive to submit their salary schedules and I have just signed the instruction for the immediate payment of salaries. Workers are to start receiving their salaries. I know you love me and I love you too.”
In his brief speech, the new Head of Service, Aina said the service under him would ensure professionalism and ethics that defines their work, assuring workers to promote their interests.
He pledged the cooperation of the state’s workforce to the Adeleke administration, saying the civil service as an important institution will work with the government to deliver benefits for Osun people.
