Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Monday restated his administration’s zero tolerance for any form of indolence, saying there will be consequences for non-performance going forward.
The governor spoke in Ado Ekiti while addressing heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) during the opening session of the Ekiti Performance Assessment and Improvement Report (EKPAIR) Workshop.
He said if his administration would positively affect the lifestyle of Ekiti people, then government must set a benchmark for service and project delivery.
The governor explained that holding meetings, treating files and organizing programmes without translating them into tangible outcomes and putting in place templates that would measure performance, would amount to a waste of time.
While urging the heads of MDAs to detach emotions in the discharge of their duties so as to perform optimally, the governor maintained that there would be dire consequence for laxity.
He assured participants in the workshop that government would play its part by ensuring that all necessary logistics required to succeed are put in place, stressing that he would not want to leave any project uncompleted at the end of his tenure.
“If we want to positively affect the lifestyle of Ekiti people and we want to make impact as a government, we must set benchmark for service delivery and project delivery.
“We can continue to hold meetings, discussing or treating files every day, if it does not translate to tangible outcomes for the people, we are just wasting our time.
“I promised you my support and commitment, I can assure you that our people are expecting much more from us because there will be consequences for lack of performance,” the governor said.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the Special Adviser, Office of Transformation and Service Delivery (OTSD), Dr John Ekundayo, thanked the governor for his commitment towards ensuring that the administration’s shared prosperity agenda translates into better life for all citizens of the state.
Ekundayo said that the workshop would enable the participants to learn the rudiments of putting together building blocks in writing Performance Assessment and Improvement Reports so as to enable the Office of Transformation and Service Delivery know how MDAs are fairing.
Participants at the workshop said they would put the lessons learnt into proper use in a bid to ensure a more excellent service delivery.
