Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has granted his approval for the appointment of 29 new permanent secretaries in the state’s civil service.
The announcement, made through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, confirms that the appointments will come into effect immediately.
The Governor’s objective is to put an end to the practice of utilizing Coordinating Directors as accounting officers for Ministries, Departments, and Government Agencies, a system implemented during the administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
The statement partly reads: “In the same vein, the Governor also approved the confirmation of appointment of Surveyor Soladoye Abioye as substantive Surveyor General and Mr Ijiyemi Ijidele as substantive Statistician – General with immediate effect.
“Governor Adeleke, also approved that the rights and privileges of a Permanent Secretary in the State Civil Service be accorded the Director General of Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC) now and henceforth. This is with a view to repositioning the Corporation towards efficient service delivery”.
