By Ogundele Olanrewaju

Oyo State Government, on Monday, charged public/civil servants in the state workforce to put in their best for effective service delivery.

The Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Alhaji Siju Lawal, gave the charge, in his keynote address while declaring open a one-day sensitisation workshop, on effective service delivery and attitudinal change for secretarial assistants.

The training was held at the Simeon Adebo Staff Development Centre, State Secretariat, Ibadan.

Lawal noted that employees’ attitude and conducts at work were concomitant to organisational productivity and progress.

He acknowledged secretaries as frontline managers, saying their productivity could make or mar the the performance of their bosses.

The commissioner said that its ministry decided to organise the workshop, having observed series of unethical attitudes of some secretariat assistants.

He listed some of the unethical attitudes, as sheer negligence of duties, non-challant attitude to work, lobbying for preferential postings and poor quality delivery of services.

Lawal said the workshop would avail them the opportunity to jointly diagnose the underlying factors behind the unethical conducts and proffer appropriate solutions accordingly.

He urged the participants to make the best use of knowledge gained during the training programme.

He also charged them to always strive to be the best in the course of discharging their duties to ensure that the catalytic movement of Gov. Seyi Makinde’s administration is sustained.

Fifty participants were drawn from various state ministries and agencies for the the workshop.
