The Chief of Staff to the Ogun State Governor, Dr. Oluwatoyin Taiwo has called on members of the Ogun State Executive Council to work together as a team and give maximum support to the administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.
Dr. Taiwo also charged members of the Executive Council to always bring to the attention of the government any shortcomings, saying the task ahead is a collective one.
He stated this on Sunday during a special thanksgiving service in appreciation of his elevation as the Chief of Staff and the appointment of Dr. (Mrs.) Funke Oyeneye as the Executive Secretary of the Ogun State Drug and Health Commodities Management Agency (OGDHMA) at the Ogun State Government House Chapel, Oke-Igbein, Abeokuta.
The Chief of Staff appreciated Governor Abiodun for finding him worthy of the elevation, noting that it is an opportunity for him to continue to do more.
“I thank God for the privilege. It is an opportunity to serve; it is not a right. It is not because I am the most qualified or competent; it is just an opportunity to serve and do more.
“I want to thank His Excellency for giving me this privilege, and I want to encourage members of the cabinet to work together as a team. Anywhere you see any shortcomings, call us so that we can correct them.
“You are to advise us; you are to see what the government could not see and bring it to the attention of the government. By doing so, it is going to be teamwork.
“I want to appreciate Governor Dapo Abiodun for counting me worthy of this highly exalted position.
“I remember the second day of the announcement, I was with the Governor to thank him. He told me that it is not an office of thanksgiving but an office of work and that I earned it and I need to do more.
“In terms of the state, you know we have the ‘ISEYA’ mantra. We want to say it physically, spiritually, and morally. I am going to be there to make a good mark and support him in every way.
“The Governor is a man that is ready to work; he gives his all to the service of the state. So, we as his aides should be ready to key into that vision and actualize it.
