Mrs. Odimayo, Head of Local Government Administration (HOLGA), described the appointments as a critical strategy to ensure inclusive governance and foster collaboration within the council.
She urged the new officials to work seamlessly with existing leadership to advance development initiatives across the local government.
Representing the appointees, Hon. Albert Adejayan pledged dedication to their duties and promised to uphold the values of transparency and service excellence in their new roles.
Notable attendees included the Leader of the Legislative Council, Adeniyi Adeoye; the Secretary of the Local Government, Mrs. Apeke Catherine; elected councillors; senior council officials; and other stakeholders.
The induction is seen as a renewed effort by the Ondo East administration to streamline governance processes and ensure effective implementation of policies at the grassroots level.
