He said he had no doubt that they would justify their appointment by
collaborating with this administration to deliver outstanding service to
Lagosians.
“The people of Lagos State deserve the best and I demand the best from you. You
must always remember that this is not a ceremonial role; to whom much is given,
much is expected.
“As Permanent Secretaries and Accounting Officers of your MDAs, you have the
responsibility of optimally managing the human and material resources in your
care. Let me remind you that our social contract with Lagosians is embodied in
the six-point T.H.E.M.E.S agenda, and the faultless implementation of this
Agenda should guide your actions,” he said.
The governor added that in the over 600 days of his administration, he had
remained focused on the Greater Lagos Vision despite the challenges of the
Coronavirus Pandemic.
“We have a long way to go- we are, however, encouraged by the progress we have
made so far especially the completion of critical projects inherited from the
past administration and the milestone projects that will be completed and
inaugurated this year.
“I am confident that we will achieve our dream of a Greater Lagos with our
people as the ultimate beneficiaries. You will, therefore, agree with me that
our MDAs must be headed by only those who share our vision for a Greater Lagos
and are ready to work hard to actualize that vision.
“My confidence in our ability to achieve a greater Lagos is to a large extent
hinged on the capacity, capability, commitment, and dedication of every member
of this government, including the Body of Permanent Secretaries,” he stated.
Sanwo-Olu said the new permanent secretaries could recall that during the
one-on-one sessions he had with them, he asked them about the new changes they
would introduce to address specific issues and improve the quality of service
delivery in the respective MDAs.
“Now that you have scaled through and emerged as the newest members of the Body
of Permanent Secretaries, it is time to put those ideas to work and in the same
spirit, be prepared to tackle other challenges that you will encounter in the
course of discharging your duties,” he charged them.
Speaking on behalf of the new permanent secretaries, Dr Akinwunmi Mustafa
thanked Sanwo-Olu for the confidence he had in them, saying that the rigorous
screening process showed what Lagos State is known for.
"Mr Governor, you have chosen from the best and we are ready to go and
will not let you down. You have a group of people that are ready to work with
you and make the T.H.E.M.E.S agenda achievable in no distant time,” he said.
