This announcement was made by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Bimbo Ashiru, at the 2013 Civil Service Day celebration which held in Abeokuta, the state capital.
At the public lecture titled Enhancing Accountability, Transparency and Integrity, government workers were charged to cultivate the right mental attitudes to work value and ethics in the discharge of government policies and programmes to bring to fruition the hopes and aspirations of the state founding fathers.
The event provided the much needed avenue to review the journey so far and the challenge for the future
Speakers at the event reiterated that the civil service is the engine room for the effective implementation of government policies and programmes. The sector, as the intermediary between the people and government at all levels, must discharge its responsibilities with integrity, must be transparent and accountable.

The governor called on the work for more cooperation and dedication to ensure the success of the rebuilding mission of the administration.
