…Emphasizes Commitment to Civil Service Reforms

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has revealed that he has not approved the tenure extension for any retiring Permanent Secretary in the state.

This clarification was contained in a statement signed by Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, and obtained by our correspondent on Saturday.

The statement follows recent reports about alleged elongation of tenure of some service personnel.

The governor also stated that he is committed to the entrenchment of ongoing civil service reforms to ensure career progression and service satisfaction for all personnel.

“The public is reminded that Governor Adeleke launched the reforms which ensured right placement of top officials, leading to the appointment of substantive Permanent Secretaries many of whom had lost any hope of reaching the pinnacle of their career.

“There is therefore no plan to approve extension of tenure for any retiring Permanent Secretary as the Governor is determined to enforce career progression in the state public service.

“Any previous extension is designed to consolidate the ongoing service reforms to ensure entrenchment of professionalism. It is not a state policy and the few exceptions are targeted at strengthening the public service as the reform process is just a year plus.”

Governor Adeleke also urged public servants to go about their normal duties as the administration will not take any decision that may be injurious to their career progression and service interest.
