He said his government would depend largely on the service, which he described as the hub of activities of any administration and the engine room of progress of any state, to execute and achieve its agenda of restoration and transformation.
Ajimobi made the submission at the inter-faith service marking his assumption of office held at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan, the state capital, on Tuesday.
He said his administration could only achieve its set goals of restoration with the support of the civil service.
He said, “We recognise that no government can make headway if it belittles or looks down on the civil service.
“Not only will this government consciously refrain from being at the gathering of anyone who has no regard for the civil service, this administration will pursue the restoration of its lost glory.
“We are, however, aware that our civil service is bedevilled with challenges. One of the first steps we will take as a government is to restore the sagging confidence that the Oyo civil servant has been forced to contend with in recent years.
“On the heels of this is a task that this government will undertake to expose our civil servants to appropriate in-service training programmes that will hone their skills and prepare them for efficient service delivery.”
