Lagos warns corrupt officials By Lekan Sanni, Correspondent, Lagos Newly appointed Head of Service (HOS) in Lagos State, Mr. Sunny Akinsanya Ajose, at the weekend advised public servants in the state with corrupt tendencies to seek employment elsewhere. Ajose, who spoke in his office, noted that the civil service was not a place to amass wealth through dubious means. Speaking to journalists, he said his tenure would ensure quality service delivery to the people of the state, while public servants with itching fingers would be shown the way out. He said: “Our job is essentially to provide service. Any officer who is not contended with his salary is not fit to be in the service. The public service is not an avenue for enrichment.” Ajose, who said he came to the service from the private sector, disclosed that his ambition was to make the public service competitive with the private sector at the end of his tenure. To make this dream realisable, he said that he was planning to place at strategic places, within the secretariat, suggestion boxes to enable civil servants make their input into his administration. He said: “I welcome suggestion and I am planning to establish boxes in the secretariat for anonymous suggestions. Public complaint centres will also be opened all over Lagos to get feed back from the communities. “Residents are free to report heady officials and comment on the quality of service being provided within their taxes.” The head of service, who has embarked on an inspection tour of the sprawling secretariat complex, expressed the need for the ministry of Environment to ensure good and cleaner surroundings. Consequently, he expressed the need to coordinate the activities of itinerant food vendors and hawkers within the complex, while their activities should also be streamlined and monitored to ensure high standard and the prevention of epidemic.       Copyright� 2002.
