“I appointed all 14 of you, including those who have retired, and I will not deprive you of this entitlement,” the governor said. “This is to help you move around, do your job with ease, and deliver results promptly.”

Speaking on behalf of the recipients, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Mrs. Foluke Tunde-Daramola, thanked the governor for his “OUR EASE” agenda, pledging loyalty and commitment to delivering on their mandates.
