No fewer than 38 Permanent Secretaries appointed by Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State as well as some appointed by the immediate past government in the State have been given brand new official cars.
Abiodun while speaking at the official presentation of the cars to the beneficiaries said the Permanent Secretaries deserved the gesture and more because they have contributed immensely to the successes of his administration and the gesture was to appreciate them for their dedication.
Abiodun who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tokunbo Talabi called on the Permanent Secretaries to continue to imbibe entrepreneurial skills that will make the agencies of government more viable saying “we are on a long journey together.
“I urge you to deploy entrepreneurial sense in your duties so that the government can make more impact.”
The Governor said the state had great potentials which his administration was set to unlock to further improve the fortunes of the state in order to make life more comfortable for the people.
