Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, has explained reasons for his decision to restructure the public service within the first 100 days of his administration.
The governor, who revealed this on Tuesday while speaking at the inauguration of a forum of retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries in the state, stated that it was geared towards improving the public servants and enhancing services delivery in the state.
He further said the forum was aimed at helping the state to continue to tap from their wealth of experience, knowledge and institutional memory, noting that the forum could further add value to good governance and efficiency in public service delivery.
Ambode, who was represented by his Deputy, Mrs. Oluranti Adebule, described the forum as a blessing in disguise.
He said, “As you are aware, the past few months have witnessed some restructuring in the public service featuring the realignment of MDAs and creation of new ones. All these are aimed at repositioning the public service for better performance in terms of quality and timely service delivery.”
He commended members of the new forum for their selfless contributions to good governance, noting that they had through the indent of hard work, laid the solid foundation for excellent public service upon which successive administrations in the state have erected super structures.
“As founding fathers of the state public service, you have toiled day and night at different times under different circumstances to lay a solid foundation for an excellent public service upon which successive administrations have erected super structures that we are all proud of today. This summit will therefore ensure that your collective dreams and vision then and now, including your hopes and aspirations continue to live on,” Ambode added.
Recently, a report surfaced recently saying that Governor Ambode will appoint his cabinet from people loyal to the former governor of the state.
