Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has charged the newly inaugurated six commissioners, Head of Service (HoS), and eight special advisers in the state to see their appointment as a call to service, to deliver more in the delivery of good governance to our people.
The governor, who stated this during their inauguration ceremony held in Akure, congratulated the Commissioners and SAs for being found worthy to be preferred from amongst thousands of other equally qualified individuals.
āYou must be dedicated, up and doing, and focused in the discharge of the duties and responsibilities expected of your office. It is equally important that you see yourselves as servant-leaders and not lords in your respective MDAs.
āKindly cooperate with your Accounting Officers. You are expected to work in partnership with them and ensure you are guided by relevant rules and regulations in the performance of your duties and responsibilities,ā he added.
Governor Aiyedatiwa told them that the entire State is looking up to them to bring to bear their wealth of experience, skills, and competencies in their new assignments.

As Commissioners and Special Advisers, you are coming on board at a very critical time. It, therefore, behooves you to come up with creative ideas and policies geared towards alleviating the sufferings of our people.
āWe cannot afford to fail in this regard. This time requires us as political leaders to lead by example and be prepared to make necessary sacrifices by shunning ostentatious lifestyles.
āLet me use this medium to plead with our people not to mount undue pressure on these new appointees. We should let them perform their duties without hindrance or distraction.ā
The commissioners sworn in are Mr. Emmanuel Igbasan, Engr. Razaq Obe, Mrs. Omowumi Isaac, Mr. Kayode Ajulo, Mr. Akinwumi Sowore, and Mr. Oyeniyi Oseni.
