According to him, service must be delivered promptly and timely, with quality assurance ensured.

He added that the level of efficiency and effectiveness of any organisation depends on the quality and satisfaction of its workforce, hence, the welfare, training and re-training as well as provision of relevant modern technology must be ensured to retain the service in its enviable position.

"The Ogun State Public Service, like its forebear, the Western State Public Service has always been in the fore front, please ensure that we retain the position", Otunba Osokoya said.

While reeling out the contributions of the Association to good governance in the State to include the resuscitation of the Public Service Forum, presentation of reports and documents on ways out of emerging societal challenges, amongst other things, the Chairman pledged the Association's readiness and availability to make use of their vast experiences where necessary.

Responding, the Head of Service appreciated the elders for the visit and promised to use all their pieces of advice to retain the Civil Service as the best among the comity of States.

Dr. Aigoro also assured the retired elderstates men and women that he'll continue to consult them, make them proud and not disappoint them by the time he becomes a member of the Association in the future.
