Civil Service Reaffirms Partnership With Traditional Institutions
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Olumuyiwa Enitan Abel, has reaffirmed the Federal Civil Service’s commitment to constructive engagement with traditional institutions in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Mr. Abel made the commitment when he received a delegation from the Ife Traditional Council, representing His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, during a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja.
The HCSF said improving public service delivery, strengthening governance and building resilient institutions require sustained collaboration, collective responsibility and a shared commitment to national development. He expressed appreciation to the Ooni and the Ife Traditional Council for the visit, noting the historical and cultural significance of Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba civilisation and the important role of traditional institutions in promoting peace, unity and cultural preservation.
Mr. Abel also commended the Ooni for his fatherly, inclusive and visionary leadership, particularly his contributions to the development and promotion of Nigeria’s interests both at home and in the diaspora.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Her Regal Majesty, Olori Dr. Temitope Enitan Ogunwusi, conveyed the Ooni’s goodwill to the HCSF and described him as a purpose-driven and accomplished public servant.
She urged officers and staff of the Federal Civil Service to support his vision through teamwork, unity of purpose and dedication.
The delegation also included the Onifegunwa of Ifegunwa, Oba Adedire Adewole Solomon, and the Yeye Bobajiro Oodua, Dr. Yeye Afolashade Shona-Aluko.
