The Ogun State Head of Service, Mr. Olanrewaju Saka, has reiterated that the essence of monitoring the bi-monthly environmental sanitation exercise across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government was not to witch hunt or condemn any agency, but to ensure compliance and encourage them towards taking control of their immediate environment.

The Head of Service made this known when he led some members of the Body of Permanent Secretaries to monitor the "Keep your environment clean" initiative, added that his vision was to maintain a clean and healthy environment, which necessitated his going around for optimum compliance by the workers.

At the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Head of Service commended the leadership and entire members of Staff for their compliance and maintenance of a very clean environment, noting that, with such attitude, they had demonstrated diligence and great compliance to the constituted authority, which had made him so proud of them.

"You have demonstrated diligence, loyalty and compliance to authority. Of all Ministries visited so far, you're outstanding. I am not here to compare you with other Ministries, I am not here to condemn any Ministry, but to appreciate your good work, hence, you must be alive to your responsibilities Mr. Saka said.

He charged the workers to be more particular about their environment as the Ministry is strategic to the traditional institution of the State, urging them to see themselves as role models in their various communities.

Speaking in an interview after the inspection, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Dr. Rotimiolu Akinlesi, appreciated the Head of Service and his monitoring team for the on-the-spot assessment and attributed the accolades showered on his Ministry to the team work spirit that was in place.
