Ondo State Governor,  Rotimi Akeredolu, has reiterated the need to raise the bar of excellence in support of the people’s expectations of good governance, just as he cautioned relations and friends of political office holders not to put unnecessary pressure on them.

The Governor maintained that his administration was committed to sustaining the bar of achievements recorded during his first term and even raise it to an optimal level.

Governor Akeredolu spoke on Monday at the Swearing-In of  four new commissioners in Akure, the state capital.

The Governor had, last week, sent the names of the four Commissioners to the State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.

The newly inaugurated Commissioners are: Sir. Charles Titiloye, Mr Donald Ojogo, Mr. Raimi Aminu and Mr. Wale Akinterinwa.

According to the Governor, Sir. Charles Titiloye will serve as Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General,  Ojogo will also return to the Ministry of Information and Orientation while Akinterinwa will return to the Ministry of Finance, Aminu who was the special Adviser to the Governor on Lands, Work and Infrastructures in the first term will now serve as the Commissioner for Works.

Governor Akeredolu stated that he did not play-down other Ministries, adding that all agencies are equally important in the State of polity.

“The choice of four Ministries as Agencies of Government requiring immediate attention should be clear to the discerning.

“The other ministries and agencies of the State are equally important”

He noted that the choice and quick resolve to bring the new Commissioners back, so soon, after the dissolution of the State Executive Council, underscores the importance attached to the quality of the services rendered to the State in the First Term.

He also stressed that his administration would tackle all manners of decadence in the public service.

“Our administration will discourage recklessness, disloyalty and all acts which interrogate any claims to decency and propriety.
