As part of his dedication to the well-being of the workers, Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun as approved sales of rice to the state civil servants.
The event took place at the ‘Oja Irorun’ Civil Servants Farmers’ Market at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Governor Abiodun, who was represented by the Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, said the occasion was a significant step in the ongoing efforts of the state government at improving the living standards of workers in the state.
The governor praised the dedication and the commitment of the workers to service, which he noted contributed immensely to the success achieved by his administration.
“Ogun State civil servants’ dedication and hard work form the bedrock of the progress and prosperity of our dear state.
”Recognising this invaluable essence of workers to the actualisation of the policies and programmes of the state government, the administration has graciously approved the sale of high quality bags of rice at discounted prices exclusively to the workforce,” the governor said.
Prince Abiodun urged workers across ministries, departments, and agencies, MDAs, to take full advantage of the opportunity and embrace the good gesture by the state government.
Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Establishments and Training, Mrs. Lydia Fajounbo, appreciated the government for the initiative, which is one of the many interventions by the government to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal for the state workforce.
