Public Servants' commitment and allegiance to government have been identified as essential in achieving the goals and objectives of the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Ogun State Head of Service (HoS), Mr. Kolawole Fagbohun, made this known while declaring open a two-day workshop on, "Work Commitment and Loyalty to Government", for senior management staff in the state Civil Service, at the Obas' Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, affirming that the Public Servants should be seen as professionals with schedule of duties, adaptability, career enhancement, punctuality, accountability and alignment with government goals and objectives.

Mr. Fagbohun described loyalty as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, long-term success and breeds trust that could prevent leakages of information, revenue and diversion of resources in the Public Service, urging workers to adhere to ethical practices and strive to ensure the success of any administration they serve through unalloyed commitment and loyalty.

In his remarks, the Lead Consultant, who is a former Head of Service in the Oyo State Civil Service, Alhaji Tajudeen Aremu, said the theme of the training borders on leadership problems in Nigeria, adding that commitment and loyalty were essential to all activities in the Service, enjoining participants to utilise the knowledge gained through the training and cascade it to subordinates in their various MDAs.

Earlier, Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Establishments and Training, Mrs. Lydia Fajounbo, represented by the Director, Management Services and Training, Mr. Olusegun Akinfaiye, said the training aimed to improve the capacity of the participants with a career-impacting experience for personal development and enhancement of service delivery.
