Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, inaugurating four panels and committees in Osogbo to review all appointments made after July 17 by the last administration, urged the panels and committees to track and recover all assets looted from the state treasury.
The Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Governor, Malam Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Wednesday, indicated that Governor Adeleke, represented by the Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, lamented the large scale ”pillaging” of government assets in Osun Sate.
“You must right the wrongs and discharge your mandates with sense of urgency.
“We assure the people that we will not back down on our resolve to stop all post July 17 illegalities.”
The governor assured that the workers payroll in pre-July 17 is not altered but remains same, adding that the government did not sack any worker. He noted that “those with issues to explain are those who entered the payroll after July 17.”
The panels include the Staff Audit/Appointments/Promotion Review Committee, chaired by Dr Muyiwa Oladimeji, State Assets Inventory and Recovery Committee, chaired by B. T. Salam; Contracts/MoU/Agreements Review Committee, chaired by Mr Niyi Owolade; and Chieftaincy Affairs Review Committee, chaired by Bunmi Jenyo.
