“This appointment is necessary and also critical for a smooth take-off of this administration which is barely one week old. You have been brought on board to assist the administration for effective actualisation of the vision and agenda of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for our state and the people,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu advised them to be innovative and receptive to new ideas for the greater good of the state.

The governor promised to resolve all issues relating to the minimum wage soonest.

“As an administration, we are committed to giving you all the necessary support in terms of welfare, training, human capital development and other tools that would facilitate performance on the part of the workers”, he said.

Sanwo-Olu enjoined the permanent secretaries not to be complacent but continue to strive for excellence.

He urged them to ensure services comparable to what is obtainable in a 21st-century economy and to provide leadership to other levels of staff.

Responding on behalf of others, Mrs Jaji said they would justify the confidence reposed in them.
