Professionalism Remains Hallmark Of Civil Service – Oyebanji
Ekiti State governor Biodun Oyebanji has said that professionalism remains the hallmark of an effective and efficient civil service.
Oyebanji, who assured the workers in the state that his administration will continue to allow them to operate without political interference, said he was not oblivious to the inherent danger in the undue politicisation of the service.
The governor, who stated that such breeds mediocrity capable of undermining the credibility and potency of workers to deliver optimally, spoke at the 2025 Ekiti State Public Service Forum and Award of Excellence Ceremony held at the Adetiloye Hall, Trade Fair Complex, Ado Ekiti.
He explained that productivity in the civil service could only be entrenched and enhanced when there is a service that places high premium on merit over mediocrity in appointments and postings.
The governor promised that his administration would continue to maintain the culture of professionalism in the civil service and uplift it to a competitive and productive entity that can deliver the best to the State.
Represented by his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, he said his government has been able to accomplish its vision of making Ekiti a microcosm of development due to solid support being received from civil servants.
