Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has approved the appointment of six new Permanent Secretaries.
The appointments were announced on Friday in a statement issued by the Head of Service, Mr. Iskeel Saka.

The Head of Service said the appointments were made in line with Section 208(c) of the 1999 Constitution, following what he described as careful consideration of merit, professionalism and inclusiveness.

He explained that all six appointees successfully completed the Ogun State Pipeline Leadership Development Programme, which is a mandatory requirement for appointment into the state’s highest public service leadership positions, including the office of Permanent Secretary.

Saka said the appointments reflect Governor Abiodun’s commitment to building a more effective, responsive and result-oriented Civil/Public Service.
