The vision of the present administration in Ogun
State to utilize its agricultural resources for food security, employment
generation and industrialisation will at best be a pipe dream if workers of the
Ministry of Agriculture in the State fail to contribute their quota as
expected.
Commissioner in the Ministry, Mrs. Ronke Sokefun who
made this assertion in Abeokuta during the first meeting held with the workers
in the New Year, therefore tasked them to roll up their sleeves and partner
with government to actualize the vision.
As she puts it, workers remain the engine room and
vital organ of executing government policies and programmes, maintaining that
no matter how lofty a policy is, it cannot achieve set objectives, if workers
who are to implement it did not play their expected roles.
She disclosed that the State Government’s
determination to rebuild the State particularly through agricultural revolution
remained unwavering and solicited the cooperation and collaboration of all
stakeholders towards delivering its electioneering promises.
“Agricultural revolution remains a key priority of
this government. It is therefore our responsibility to assist the Governor to
deliver on this dream and on his promise to the electorates”, she said.
Earlier, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Engr.
Lanre Bisiriyu, enjoined members of staff to make efficient service delivery
their watchword as they are commencing a new year.
Bisiriyu explained that this is the only way they
could repay the State government which had consistently displayed its welfarist
posture through prompt payment of salaries and allowances as well as other
packages to make living more abundant for its workers.
Responding on behalf of other workers, Mr. Ibrahim
Busi appreciated different gestures so far enjoyed from government and
expressed their readiness to work harder in the New Year towards ensuring the
achievements of the set goals and objectives of the ministry.
