Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has said that the office of Secretary to Ekiti State Government requires someone who is competent, loyal and committed.
He pointed out that these are part of good attributes of Dr. Habibat Adubiaro which qualified her to be appointed into the office.
The Governor, who was secretary to the immediate past administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi before he resigned to contest for the governorship, stated this on Monday, during the swearing in of Dr. (Mrs) Habibat Omolara Adubiaro as Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
The oath of office was administered on her by Governor Oyebanji at the conference hall of Governor’s office, Ado-Ekiti.
The Governor, in his speech, congratulated Dr. Adubiaro on her new appointment and expressed optimism in her capability to deliver on the task of her responsibilities.
Also sworn-in alongside the SSG is the Commissioner of Justice and Attorney-General, Dayo Apata (SAN), immediate past solicitor general of the federation.
Oyebanji declared that “Today’s occasion is significant as we are all aware that the office of Secretary to Ekiti State Government and commissioner of Justice serve as an important nomenclature of this government.
“This is underscored by the fact that it is established by the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
“I therefore want to congratulate Dr. Adubiaro who has been called upon to serve at this crucial time.”
The Governor therefore charged the appointees to be up to the task in their responsibilities.
Dr Adubiaro, a staff of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, (FUOYE) until her appointment, is the first female to occupy the position in Ekiti state.
