Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has assured the state’s workers of a more conducive working environment as he promised to complete all abandoned building projects in the State Secretariat Complex.
The Governor expressed his commitment to the welfare of all civil servants in the State and expressed appreciation for their contributions and dedication to duties with a promise to continue to inspire them to enhance their performance.
Dr. Fayemi, who made this known while laying the foundation of a new office complex for the Ministry of Justice as part of the activities marking his first year in office, added that steps were also underway to provide befitting office complex for both State Universal Basic
Education Board (SUBEB) and Local Government Service Commission among others.
He commended the state Ministry of Justice on its drive to ensure that cases are dispensed without delay by ensuring that the Ministry was ever active and prompt in providing rapid and systematic interpretation of government’s policies and rules into life touching laws.
The Governor said his administration embarked on the legacy project to ensure a befitting edifice for the Ministry to enhance its performance adding that the Ministry that was once neglected and relegated in the past has now become a bride sought after nationally.
Fayemi added, “As a government, we understand and appreciate the importance of conducive and comfortable working environment as a prerequisite to enhancing performance and bringing the best out of every worker.
“We are committed to the welfare of all civil servants in Ekiti State, and I reassure you all that the welfare of our workers is our paramount interest. We appreciate your contributions and dedication to duties, and we will continue to do our best to inspire you to perform better.
“Any responsible government that wants efficiency and effectiveness from its workforce must provide a more conducive working atmosphere for the officials and Staff of the Ministry. This is of course also true of many other buildings in the Secretariat. That is why we are taking steps about other structures including SUBEB and Local Government Service Commission (LGSC) Secretariat and at least two other uncompleted structures in the Secretariat.
“This is just one of several other steps mapped out to strengthen our workforce. One after the other, we shall meet and cater for the needs of all our Ministries, Departments and Agencies. During the next fiscal year, we will embark on projects aimed at providing new accommodation to SUBEB, LGSC and complete two structures in the Secretariat. I enjoin you all to be patient with the government as we continue to manage our limited resources in the best interest of all.
The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Wale Fapohunda expressed appreciation to the Governor for counting the Ministry worthy of being provided with a befitting office accommodation.
Fapohunda said he was aware of the limited resources available to the state and the competing needs for suitable and conducive office accommodation and prayed that God would provide the government with resources to the project in record time.
