MINISTRY OF WOMEN AFFAIRS REWARDS OUTSTANDING WORKERS, TASKS WORKFORCE ON REFORMS


In recognition of efficiency and quality service delivery, Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development has conferred award of excellence to members of staff, with a challenge to them to further raise the bar of performance through quality contributions to the reforms in the Ministry targeted towards protecting women, children and the vulnerable groups. 


The State Commissioner in charge of the Ministry, Hon. Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye, disclosed this in an interview shortly after the Ministry's 3-in-1 programme which featured an Annual Lecture, award ceremony and new year party, held in Abeokuta. 


Adeleye, explained that the moment was a clarion call for the awardees to always aim higher, noting that their achievements served as a reminder that hardwork and innovation was not to elevate themselves but the entire Ministry, State and Nation at large. 


According to her: "together, we will continue to break barriers, champion social development, and uplift the lives of women and children across Ogun State. As we step into 2025, let us renew our commitment to the mission of this Ministry. Our goals remain clear: to empower women, protect children, and drive inclusive social development"


"This year, we will intensify our efforts, push boundaries, and create opportunities that transform lives across Ogun State. Together, we can achieve even greater milestones and make 2025 a year of exceptional impact", she remarked. 


Earlier in her lecture, the former Head of Service, Alhaja Selimot Otun, in her paper titled: "Role and Impact of Social Worker in the Society", pointed out that the workforce in the Ministry were pivotal to the maintenance of social cohesion of the society through a united family, which in turn positively affects social development.


Otun, a one-time Permanent Secretary in the Ministry challenged the workers to embrace excellence, work towards changing the narrative through effectiveness, improved service delivery and uprightness in their daily duties. 


Also, in his separate lecture, the Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Public Service Reforms,
Mr. Jola Oyeneye, who spoke on "Bureaucracy and Service Delivery: The Public Service Way", tasked the senior officials to ensure simplifying bureaucratic process to reduce administrative bottleneck, encouraging them to further key into the ISEYA Mantra of the present administration, through effective collaboration and partnership.


He implored them to be creative and innovative to bring added value to the public service, leverage on technology and foster collaboration and develop strategic partnerships with a goal-oriented mindset.


The Permanent Secretary assured that the State Government would continue to provide more reward system to encourage outstanding performance amidst staff, noting that there were on-going reforms that would continue to challenge the status quo in tandem with daily realities.
