By Adewale Owoade
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has promised that 2024 will be a year of great tidings for workers.
Gov. Makinde made the promise during the 2024 Annual Inter-faith Service held in Ibadan, the State capital.
He also called on the workers to always put the interest of the State above their personal interests and to cooperate with him to create an orderly environment.
“2024 will be a year of great turn-around.
“But the real thing that will make our State prosperous is our attitude in ensuring our environment is orderly; so, I will solicit your support.
“2024 is a year of the rule of the law in Oyo State; we dare to be different from others.
“We must work together; there must be order, there must be sanity within our environment.
“That is the only time we will stand out as a serious investment destination.
“We have to work together to ensure that we create a prosperous State; let us be positive about our State,” Makinde said.
In his remarks, the Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, commended Gov. Makinde for the cordial relations between the Executive and Legislative institutions in Oyo State.
He also assured Makinde of the support of the legislature.
“Let me reassure everyone present that the 10th Oyo State Assembly is committed to protecting the cordial relationship that exists between the legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary.
“(This is) as to make sure Oyo State is once again, as always been, the Pacesetter and, this time, it will be for real,” Ogundoyin said.
In her opening remarks, the Head of Service of Oyo State, Mrs Olubunmi Oni thanked Gov. Makinde for always prioritising the welfare of workers.
She also charged workers in the State to refrain from all forms of unethical behaviour capable of under-mining the administration.
“It is, therefore, time for us all to be more dedicated, committed and eschew acrimonious activities.
“As Civil and Public Servants, we must remain politically neutral and continue to serve the government of the day holistically regardless of our political beliefs.
“Let us leave politics for the politicians,” Oni said.
The Programme featured praise and worship, reading of scriptures, Sermons and special prayers by Christian, Muslim and Traditional worshippers present.
The event had in attendance the Deputy Governor, Barrister Bayo Lawal; Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Adenike Adeyemo; labour leaders, top government functionaries and religious leaders, among others (NAN)
