Abiodun gifts new cars to 38 Ogun perm secs

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has presented brand new cars to 38 permanent secretaries appointed by the state government as well as those appointed by the immediate past administration.

Governor Abiodun said on Thursday the permanent secretaries deserved the cars and more for their immense contributions to the success of his administration, adding the gesture was to appreciate them for their dedication.

The governor, who was represented at the presentation ceremony by the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, asked them to continue to imbibe entrepreneurial skills that would make the agencies of government more viable.

“We are on a long journey together. I urge you to deploy entrepreneurial sense in your duties so that the government can make more impact,” he said.

According to the governor, the state has great potential which his administration is set to unlock to further improve the fortunes of the state in order to make life more comfortable for the people.

He also urged top government officials to continue to support and cooperate with his administration, saying any house divided against itself cannot stand.

It would be recalled that the governor had informed in his speech delivered on the 2022 May Day celebration that his administration had procured official cars for all the permanent secretaries – those appointed by this administration and those appointed by the immediate past administration and are still in service.

Speaking on behalf of the permanent secretaries, the Chairman Body of Permanent Secretaries, Mr Kola Fagbohun, expressed gratitude to the Dapo Abiodun-led administration “for yet another welfare package of brand-new officials cars at a period of great financial challenges at all tiers of government in our polity”.

Fagbohun pledged continued support to the government towards moving the state forward to an enviable reference point for more impactful governance.
