Without Civil Servants, There Is No Government- Governor Abiodun
The Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has described workers as the engine room of any Government as all the monumental strides that have been made would not have been possible without their inputs.
Governor Abiodun who stated this during the 6th Quarterly General Meeting of the South-West Association of Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries (SWARHOSPS), held at the Valley View Auditorium, Isale- Igbein, Abeokuta, described Civil Servants as the ones providing policy supports for the progress of the administration.
Represented by his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Shuaib Salisu, the Governor thanked both retired and serving Ogun workers for their supports in the last three years, calling on the association to show more interest in the affairs of the nation and think of more innovative ways in funding some of the deficits inherited especially the issue of gratuity.
In his address, the Head of Service, Dr. Nafiu Aigoro appreciated the roles of the Elder Statemen and Women for their pioneering efforts in the development of the Public Service in the entire South-West geo- political zone of the country, saying that Governor Dapo Abiodun in recognising these roles by the association in Ogun, has given premium to the payment of monthly pensions as well as payment of salaries to serving officers despite the dwindling finances of the State Government.
