Congrats to the good people of Igarra and Akoko Edo in general

He has hit the ground running.

Full details

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo on Monday in Benin announced the appointment of Osarodion Ogie as the Secretary to the State Government.

Also appointed were Taiwo Akerele as Chief of Staff and John Mayaki as interim Chief Press Secretary.

Mr. Obaseki had before making the announcement, met with the state Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries.

He directed the permanent secretaries to take full charge of the affairs of their ministries, pending appointment of commissioners.

The governor solicited for maximum cooperation from the civil service to enable him discharge his mandate effectively.

He expressed confidence in the civil service, and pledged that his administration would build a more stronger, vibrant, trusted, competent and reliable workforce to meet the challenges ahead.

“I have no doubt about the capacity of the civil service, but we will also need to clear the clog on the wheel of progress,” he added.

The governor said the administration would re-evaluate the recruitment process into the service to ensure that merit and objectivity were not compromised.

Good luck to em, hope my relative will get an appointment soon.

Good appointments and a good way to start. This approach will no doubt add the needed momentum in the affairs of his administration.

They should enjoy for few months before the rightful winner of the election takes over but i hope they will not empty the treasury before then.

He's not Yoruba o. He's from Igarra (my town) in Edo State. Though most of us bear Yoruba names and understand Yoruba language.

Ize-Iyamu rightfully won on Nairaland, not Edo State.

yoruba

He is from Akoko Edo (Okpameri or Etuno)

Although a lot of Akoko-Edo, Owan East and Owan West people bear Yoruba names.

Ize-Iyamu should wait till 2019 to test his popularity again.

We are waiting for the 200000 jobs within 1year.

Nice one...
