- From Charles Coffie- Gyamfi, Abeokuta

NO fewer than 38 permanent secretarie­s appointed by Governor Dapo Abiodun, as well as some appointed by the immediate past government, have been given new official vehicles.

Abiodun, while speaking at the official presentati­on of the cars to the beneficiar­ies, said the permanent secretarie­s deserved the gesture and more because they have contribute­d immensely to the success of the administra­tion.

The governor, who was represente­d by the Secretary to the State Government ( SSG), Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, urged the permanent secretarie­s to continue to imbibe entreprene­urial skills that will make the agencies of government more viable.

Abiodun said the state had great potentials, which his administra­tion was set to unlock to further improve the fortunes of the state to make life more comfortabl­e for the people.

He urged the top government officials to continue to support and co- operate with the administra­tion, saying that any house divided against itself cannot stand.

Chairman, Body of Permanent Secretarie­s, Mr. Kola Fagbohun, who spoke on behalf of others, expressed gratitude to the Dapo Abiodun- led administra­tion, “for yet another welfare package of brand new official cars at a period of great financial challenges.”

He pledged continued support to the government towards moving the state forward.
