Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has extended the tenure of the state Head of Service, Mr. Dare Aragbaiye for one year.

Aragbaiye’s mandatory retirement from service was expected to take effect from today Wednesday,  March 11, 2020.

According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, Governor Akeredolu explained that the decision to extend the HoS’ tenure was informed by the current industrial peace made possible by the collaboration between the leadership of labour and the Office of the Head of Service.

The Governor noted that the extension also became necessary after a careful consideration of the prevailing situation with regards to the role of the state public service in his administration’s quest for sustainable development in all areas.

The extension of tenure, the Governor said, was without prejudice to extant  rules and regulations guiding the appointment of the Head of Service as a civil servant.

Akeredolu hopes that the Head of Service will continue to justify the confidence reposed in him and continually discharge the duties of his office in the interest of the government and people of the State.
