Lagos State governor, Mr Akiwunmi Ambode on Saturday, held his inaugural meeting with permanent secretaries in the state public service, reiterating that the state civil service will drive the change and continuity which he intends to put in place in the next four years.
The Governor, who spoke at the Lagos House, Alausa, said he
intended to strengthen the civil service and to continue with the
reforms, through which he would carry out his policies.
He urged the permanent secretaries being the administrative
heads of the ministries, to see themselves as frontrunners of the current
administration, adding that he would draw from the experience he had garnered
as a retired public servant.
He said new offices would be created just as some current ones
would be streamlined, in order to ensure that cost of governance was reduced
while ensuring greater efficiency.
“Part of my speech at my inauguration ceremony dwelt on the
creation of a Ministry of Wealth Creation which would ensure that not only do
we create wealth but ensure that when investments from foreign sources drops, a
pro-active situation is in place to take care of them,” the Governor said.
