Information officers in the Ogun State Civil Service have been commended for promoting activities of government and disseminating information to the people.
The Head of Service, Dr. Nafiu Aigoro gave the commendation when the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Information Chapel paid a courtesy visit to his office in Abeokuta.
Dr. Aigoro said the officers in the profession are important to the smooth running of any government, urging them to continue to discharge their duties and maintain professionalism in their reportage.
"Government needs you to project its activities and you are doing wonderfully well, I must say. Continue to do your work ethically, be professional and maintain it because you must not do things that will tarnish the image of government", the HoS advised.
He admonished the leaders of the chapel to guide the upcoming officers on the ethics of the profession and ensure that they are productive in their various beats, saying “this is necessary because everyone now parades themselves as journalists, and I want to assure you that the issues raised will be looked into”.
Earlier in his presentation, Chairman of the Union, Comrade Akinwale Olanrewaju solicited the support of the HoS to address some challenges facing its members in the discharge of their duties.
Similarly, the Head of Service, Dr. Aigoro has thrown his weight behind the newly inaugurated executive members of the Medical Women Association of Nigeria (MWAN), Ogun State Chapter, in order to achieve unprecedented success during their tenure.
He gave the assurance in Abeokuta when the President of MWAN, Dr. Olabisi Dedeke led other members to congratulate him as the 18th HoS, saying his office would continue to collaborate with the Association, especially as it is planning to host its National Executive Council meeting soon.
In her remark, Dr. Dedeke, while reeling out the mission and vision of the Association, promised to continue to promote quality health care services, especially among women and children, soliciting for government's assistance in the upcoming free Cancer Screening Week.
