Vanguard reports that the
governor of Ogun state Governor Ibikunle Amosun has appointed Mr Ndimele
Emmanuel Ofor and Mr. Ipinniwa Steve
Olusegun as a permanent secretary in the Ogun state civil service.
The two were among the 14 new
permanent secretaries sworn in by Amosun at the State executive council
chambers at his office in Oke-mosan, Abeokuta.
The governor said the
appointment of Ofor and Olesegun who is
from Abia and Kogi state respectively was a testament to the state’s ability to
reward people who have worked hard for Ogun state’s development irrespective of
the region they come from.
He said:“I believe that if
someone has been serving in a place for 20, 30 years he can no longer be called
a non-indigene. He has been with us and he has worked with us. He is now part
of us. He cannot be called a non-indigene, and in any event, it will be unfair
and unjust to deprive someone who worked for you his deserved elevation on
account of where he comes from.”
The governor added that, “As
for me, hard work rather than where you come from should be the basis for
promotion.” He noted that “This is the first time we are having non- indigenes
as permanent secretaries in the state and they are part and parcel of us,
irrespective of where they are from, we’ll honour them because they have proven
themselves to be hard working”
Hardwork pays!
