Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has vowed to pursue the ongoing public service reform to a logical conclusion as the state staff audit consultant, Sally Tibot Consult, submitted the final report.
The lead consultant, Mrs Saadat Bakrin Ottun, presented the report and said the staff audit was concluded after due diligence and critical analysis of the data gathered during the auditing exercise.
Submitting soft and hard copies of the report, Ottun said best practices were applied to prepare the report, noting that the report contained actionable recommendations for further action by the state government.
The governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, said in a statement that Governor Adeleke immediately set up an action committee to be chaired by the chief of staff, Hon Kazeem Akinleye, to review and act on the recommendations.
The governor said, “I thank the consultant for finally completing the assignment. Our administration is committed to pursuing public service reform to a logical conclusion.
“We have done a lot to reposition the public service. I am encouraged to drive the reform further because we have the full support of the public servants. I have received several commendations for our emphasis on workers’ welfare.
“We are not only paying salaries regularly but we are repaying inherited salary and pension debts. Our government remains committed to workers’ welfare as a priority.”
