Abiodun appoints eight permanent secretaries

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has announced the appointment of eight permanent secretaries to reposition the state public service for greater efficiency and effectiveness.

But sixteen old permanent secretaries retained their portfolios and 12 others swapped ministries, agencies and parastatals in a major reshuffle since Abiodun assumed office in May.

On Friday, when the immediate past Head of Service, Lanre Bisiriyu, alongside 11 permanent secretaries, bowed out of the public service, the governor promised that he would apply merit in appointing the new leadership of the state civil service bureaucracy.

The new permanent secretaries were chosen from the directors’ cadre and they include Ms. Fadimitu Olusola, Ojetola Razak, Mr. Sodeinde Olukunle and Sotubo Olurotimi. The others are: Orekoya Bolaji, Lukan Jubril, Benson Lateef and Sorunke Dotun.
