The Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, has charged the recently appointed Permanent Secretaries and Chief Executive Officers of agencies in the State Public Service to see their positions as trust and responsibilities that come with high expectations.
He expressed optimism that individually and collectively they would justify the confidence reposed in them by the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu in appointing them.
The head of service further noted that as highly experienced senior public servants and accounting officers of ministries, departments and agencies, they should realise that the responsibilities of providing leadership and direction for the MDAs rests squarely on their shoulders.
Muri-Okunola charged them to be proactive in discharging their duties, saying that the commissioners, special advisers and others look forward to them for necessary advice and guidance on issues relating to the mandate of their respective MDAs.
“You should realise that your actions, decisions, comments, utterances and directives have far-reaching implications, not only on the principles of state policies and activities, but also on the lives of all members of staff,” he highlighted.
