Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode yesterday urged permanent secretaries to lead by example and be champions of growth mindset in the public service.
The state recently launched a special advocacy campaign to engender growth mindset among civil servants and imbue them with the right skills and attitude to fast-track development and set the state on the path of growth.
At a brief swearing-in ceremony at Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, the capital, Ambode advised the new appointees – Mrs Ayinde Rhoda Olubusola and Mr Olusanya Ebenezer Abayomi – to key into the template created for the civil service to stimulate the change of mindset and the infusion of innovation and creativity in government business.
He said: “Every appointment comes with higher responsibilities and expectations. For the Lagos State public service, a template has been developed and it is being implemented systematically.
“Essentially, the template is about change of mindset and the infusion of innovation and creativity in government business.
