“I charge them to give their best to their work. If you perform your duties diligently, especially since the government is doing its best, it will make a difference. This is a public servant-friendly government, and they are aware of it.
“For us in the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, I can confidently say that officers here are responsible and committed to their work. The kind of service we render is service-oriented. While we have been doing our best, there is still room for improvement. We can do more to enhance service delivery to the people of Ekiti State.
“I held a meeting with the Heads of Departments, and we have already reviewed the work plans for the year. For the first quarter, we are hitting the ground running to ensure no stone is left unturned.
“The expectation is that they must work together as a team. Every officer in the ministry is important, including the office assistants.
