Ekiti Govt Tasks Directors on Leadership, Talent Development, Mentoring for Improved Service Delivery.

Head of Service urges officers to mentor successors and embrace continuous learning

The Ekiti State Government has charged Directors and Deputy Directors in the State Public Service to provide purposeful leadership, develop talents within their Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), and embrace continuous learning to improve service delivery.

Arowosola commended the Biodun Oyebanji-led administration for its commitment to capacity development and prioritisation of continuous training and professional development of public servants in the state.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Office of Establishments and Service Matters, Mrs. Janet Ajibola, said Directors serve as custodians of institutional knowledge and play a critical role in strengthening professionalism, discipline and integrity in the Public Service, while the Permanent Secretary, Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Bukola Ogunlade, urged participants to make mentoring and knowledge transfer an integral part of their management culture.

The training programme is part of the State Government's efforts to strengthen leadership capacity, promote talent development and enhance service delivery across the Ekiti State Public Service.

PRESS RELEASE

The appointment, which is with immediate effect, came barely 24 hours after her retirement as Accountant General/ Permanent Secretary in the State Civil Service, upon attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60.

Mrs Olayinka served meritoriously as Accountant General of the State between November 28, 2019 and August 24, 2026.

Her appointment underscores Governor Oyebanji’s resolve to engage highly competent hands to man strategic positions as preparations for his second term administration garther momentum.

A fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (FCA), and Associate member, Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (ACTI), Mrs. Olayinka holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). She has extensive experience in the private sector, public sector and international development.

This include, among others, Ekiti State’s Number one ranking in the BudgIT State Fiscal Transparency League for Q2, Q3, Q4 2024 and Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 2025. The State was also adjudged one of the leading states in both local government budget transparency as well as Subnational Audit Efficacy Index by PLSI. The State was also rated among the top 10 states in the Federation that published detailed and accessible budget information for all its local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).

These recognitions reflect strong competence, transparency, effective auditing processes, and prudent financial management.

Olayinka, in her new role, has the mandate of the Governor to set up a comprehensive training programme for accountants across the State Civil Service, aimed at enhancing professional capacity.

With the appointment, Ekiti State has joined other states, including Enugu, Osun and Akwa Ibom, that have engaged seasoned retired Accountants General to head the important office of Accountant General of the State, while other states like Kwara, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia and Katsina have sourced professionals outside the civil service to man their respective offices of State Accountant General.

She served as Group Internal Auditor/ Chief Accountant at Ondo State Investment holding Company, Akure between January 1998 and March 1999.

Between April 1999 and 2003, she served as State Programme Accountant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). At different times she held senior accounting positions in some key MDAs- Ministry of Health, Ekiti State Project Financial Management Unit (World Bank), Ministry of Information and the State Universal basic Education Board (SUBEB). She later rose to become the Deputy Accountant General in the Office of Accountant General before her elevation as Accountant General/Permanent Secretary in November 2019, a position from which she retired on August 24, 2026.

Governor Oyebanji, while congratulating Mrs Olayinka on her new appointment as the Accountant General of the State, urged her to continue to serve with greater distinction and dedication. He also commended her for her previous meritorious service to the State.
