Civil Service Week is an opportunity for civil servants to celebrate their dedication and commitment to public service. During the 2024 edition, the governor held a health walk in Akure, during which he shared an important message with the workers.
During the event, Governor Aiyedatiwa stressed that the welfare of civil servants remained a top priority for his administration. He affirmed that all actions undertaken for the benefit of the workers were guided by their interest and not by political considerations.
He also emphasized the importance of motivation among the workforce, stressing that it was key to driving productivity. As the head of government, he pledged to surpass his current achievements and continue his efforts for the workers.
The walk brought together a large number of civil servants who expressed solidarity with the governor. They were warmly received by the government, which was lauded for creating an environment conducive to the welfare of the workers. The Head of Service, Bayo Philips, expressed appreciation for initiatives such as prompt payment of salaries, regular promotions and consistent distribution of pensions.
The President of the Labour Union Congress, Clement Fatuase, expressed confidence in the governor’s continued support for civil servants. He assured the governor that following the November 16 election, civil servants would look forward to celebrating his victory on November 17.
Ultimately, this health walk symbolises the importance of recognising and valuing the work of civil servants, who play a vital role in the smooth running of public administration. It highlights the government’s commitment to the well-being of its employees, and underscores the importance of maintaining a relationship of trust and mutual support between civil servants and authorities.
