Fayemi.
The Governor of Ekiti State Dr Kayode Fayemi has sworn
in eight new commissioners and warned members of the State
Executive Council to shun undue distractions and focus on the set
goals of the administration.
Governor Fayemi, while inaugurating the eight newly appointed
commissioners and seven Special Advisers at the Governor’s Office
hall, explained that the cabinet reshuffle is sequel to a midterm
appraisal of his team.
“We have recently carried out a midterm assessment of this
administration and made a few changes in line with our performance
and emerging reality towards refining our government agenda and
strengthen our team,” Fayemi noted.
“This account for the appointment of new people into various
positions.”
He called on the new appointees to see their new roles as
service-driven and not for illicit gains.
“To those coming on board, I encourage you to imbibe our ethos
which sees public office as a privilege and an opportunity for
service and not an occasion for self-aggrandizement or pecuniary
gain,” Dr Fayemi stated.
“Let me, therefore, sound a note of warning to all of you coming
on board, your watchword should be delivery! Delivery and delivery!
Very soon, electoral politics will be here, you must avoid any form
of distraction from your primary duty of delivering public good to
the good people of Ekiti State.”
