Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has told members of his cabinet to deliver on their various assignments or get sacked.
Addressing the 2024 maiden meeting of the State Executive Council, on Wednesday, Adeleke directed council members to redouble their efforts in service delivery to the people.
Adeleke, who said a discreet Monitoring and Evaluation Team had been put in place to prepare quarterly reports on ministries and assess performance of members of the cabinet, also demanded unity of purpose from his aides.
A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, on Wednesday quoting Adeleke further read partly, “We should note particularly that 2024 is a critical year for this administration.
“By December (2024), we will be reaching the mid-term. We must move fast in the implementation of our sectoral plans. You all must work hard in your various ministries to achieve set goals.
“Kindly be informed that I have set up a discreet Monitoring and Evaluation Team to prepare quarterly reports on ministries and assess the performance of members of the cabinet. Even though you did not sign a performance bond on assumption of office, you will henceforth be evaluated on your service delivery.
“We will not hesitate to remove from office any appointee that fails to deliver based on monitoring and evaluation reports.
“As we commence the 2024 governance activities, I call on cabinet members to maintain a united front. The cabinet is one united family with equal rights and privileges for members. That is a settled matter in line with best practices. There must be an immediate end to rivalry and segregation within the cabinet.”
