Ekiti State governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji has said his administration will not tolerate any form of indolence or non-performance in the MDAs, saying there will be consequences for lack of performance going forward.
The governor who stated this in Ado Ekiti while addressing heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies during the opening session of the Ekiti Performance Assessment and Improvement Report (EKPAIR) workshop added that his administration will set benchmark for service and project delivery to positively affect the life style of Ekiti people.
Oyebanji explained that holding meetings, treating files and organizing programmes without translating them into tangible outcomes would amount to a waste of time, without putting in place templates that would measure performance.
While urging the heads of MDAs to detach emotions in the discharge of their duties so as to perform optimally, the governor maintained that there would be dire consequences for laxity among MDAs.
He assured the participants that the government would play its part by ensuring that all necessary logistics required to succeed are put in place, stressing that he would not want to leave any project uncompleted at the end of his tenure.
“If we want to positively affect the lifestyle of Ekiti people and we want to make an impact as a government, we must set a benchmark for service delivery and project delivery. We can continue to hold meetings, discussing or treating files every day, if it does not translate to tangible outcomes for the people, we are just wasting our time.
“I promised you my support and commitment, I can assure you that our people are expecting much more from us because there will be consequences for lack of performance,” the governor said.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the special adviser, Office of Transformation and Service Delivery (OTSD), Dr John Ekundayo lauded the governor for his commitment towards ensuring that his administration’s shared prosperity agenda translates into better life for all the citizens of the state.
Ekundayo said the workshop would enable the participants to learn the rudiments of putting together building blocks in writing Performance Assessment and Improvement Report (EKPAIR), so as to enable the office of transformation and service delivery to know how MDAs are fairing.
