This is just as the governor on Tuesday approved conversion of adhoc staff to permanent staff status during the commissioning ceremony of the local government house and staff training school at Agodi, Ibadan.
“This milestone underscores my administration’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of local government employees,” Governor Makinde stated.
He directed the Commissioner for Local Government to establish the necessary modalities for this conversion within four weeks.
This initiative is part of the administration’s broader strategy to collaborate with local governments and deliver democracy’s benefits to the people.
The newly commissioned building marks a landmark achievement as the first modern structure for the local government sector.
Governor Makinde noted, “This progress counters assertions that my administration is undermining local government operations.” He signaled the start of renovations for facilities in the Secretariat.
This development aligns with Governor Makinde’s ongoing commitment to supporting civil servants.
Previously, he sanctioned the promotion of over 7,000 civil and public servants whose promotions were due in 2022.
Additionally, his administration reinstated workers unjustly dismissed by the former administration, further demonstrating his dedication to workers’ welfare.
