Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has appointed a
native of Abia State, Ndimele Emmanuel Ofor, and another native of Kogi State,
Mr. Ipinniwa Steve Olusegun, as Permanent Secretaries in the Ogun State Civil
Service.
Ofor and Ipinniwa were among the 14
new Permanent Secretaries sworn in by Amosun at the State Executive Council
Chambers, Governor’s office, Oke-mosan, Abeokuta. Amosun said, “I believe that
if someone has been serving in a place for 20, 30 years he can no longer be
called a non-indigene.
He has been with us and he has worked with us. He is now
part of us. He cannot be called a non-indigene, and in any event, it will be
unfair and unjust to deprive someone who worked for you his deserved elevation
on account of where he comes from.”
The governor added that, “As for me, hard
work rather than where you come from should be the basis for promotion.” He
noted that “This is the first time we are having non- indigenes as permanent secretaries
in the state and they are part and parcel of us, irrespective of where they are
from, we’ll honour them because they have proven themselves to be hard working” (Vanguard)
