Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has approved the initiative with the sole objective of streamlining spending of government on targeting the delivery of the six strategic actionable pillars of the incumbent administration in Ekiti.
According to a statement by OTSD, “deviations from the approved work plans by the Office of Transformation and Service Delivery (OTSD) would not be able to access budget or financial provision of the state.”
The virtual meeting comprised three substantive presentations: ‘Goal Setting,’ delivered by Dr. Samuel Moyo Ekundayo (Auckland, New Zealand); ‘Understanding Indicators,’ presented by Mr. Babatunde Ogundiran (Lagos, Nigeria); and ‘Functioning Workplan,’ led by Dr. John Moyo Ekundayo. The facilitators are seasoned professionals with requisite expertise in their respective fields.
The well-attended virtual engagement facilitated interactive question-and-answer sessions with the facilitators doing justice to the questions.
