AKURE, ONDO STATE — The newly appointed Head of Service of Ondo State, Chief Segun Odusanya, on Monday officially resumed duties, receiving a warm welcome from Permanent Secretaries, senior government officials, and civil servants at the Governor’s Office in Alagbaka, Akure.

The reception featured goodwill messages, prayers, and celebrations as workers gathered to welcome Odusanya following his appointment by Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa as the 17th Head of Service of the state.

According to a statement issued by the Director of Information in the Office of the Head of Service, Mr. Sina Adeyeye, the new Head of Service expressed gratitude to Governor Aiyedatiwa for the confidence reposed in him and pledged to build on the achievements of previous administrations within the state civil service.

Speaking during his first official engagement, Odusanya said he was committed to strengthening the public service and consolidating on the foundations laid by his predecessors.

“I am grateful to God and to Mr Governor for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity. I will carefully examine the achievements of my predecessor and build upon the foundation already established,” he said.

The Head of Service assured workers that staff welfare would remain a key priority under his leadership, noting that the state government has consistently demonstrated commitment to improving the conditions of service for civil servants despite prevailing economic challenges.

He stated that efforts would continue to be made to enhance the welfare of workers within the resources available to the government.

“Workers should expect positive developments. Their welfare remains very important, and I believe the Governor places great value on the well-being of civil servants. With the cooperation and support of workers, we can achieve greater progress in the service,” Odusanya said.

He also urged public servants across the state to remain committed, disciplined, and professional in the discharge of their duties, stressing the importance of increased productivity in support of government efforts.



According to him, civil servants have a responsibility to reciprocate the government’s commitment to their welfare through dedication and efficient service delivery.

“When we consider the commitment of Mr Governor to workers’ welfare, we should strive to reciprocate such efforts through diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty,” he added.

The colourful reception reflected the confidence many workers have in the new Head of Service, with several civil servants expressing optimism that his leadership would further strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the Ondo State Public Service.

Odusanya’s appointment followed the retirement of his predecessor and forms part of ongoing efforts by the state government to sustain administrative continuity and improve public sector performance.
