Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has assured public servants in the state that his administration will take steps to prevent backlogs in promotions.

While promising that his administration would not overlook their services to the state, Abiodun challenged the civil servants to stay consistent by adhering resolutely to the moral principles and values that govern public service.

The governor stated this at an event to mark the 2024 Public Service Week themed ‘Building a Socially Responsive Public Service in the 21st Century: The Place of Ethics and Values’, which was held at the Oba’s Complex, Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Abiodun stressed that ethics and values are principles that shapes actions and form the foundation upon which trust and credibility are built.

“We are aware that some of you are due for promotion in 2023 and 2024. I assure you that we are putting in place mechanisms and engaging with the office of the Head of Service to avoid any backlog of promotion exercises.

“Be rest assured that we cannot afford to neglect or toy with the careers of our very energetic and vibrant public servants,” he said.

The governor noted that he has approved the domestication of resolutions of the National Council of Establishment in relation to entry qualifications and career progressions.

“I have graciously approved the domestication of several resolutions of the National Council of Establishment, including those related to entry qualifications, career progressions, and other establishment matters in the public service.

“Our administration took a significant step towards enhancing the welfare of our public servants by launching the formal sector of the health insurance scheme with a 50% subsidy exclusively for our public servants.

“This translates to and means that Ogun State workers will only pay N500 monthly compared to the N1,000 paid by other beneficiaries in that scheme,” he added.

He maintained that his administration, in the last five years, has consistently demonstrated its commitment to capacity building and human capital development within the state public service, adding that significant resources have been committed toward the sponsorship of public servants to professional conferences and seminars in and out of the country.
