Sagamu (Ogun ), Jan. 8, 2017 (NAN) Workers of Sagamu Local Government, Ogun State, have been tasked to make diligence, sincerity and unity their guiding principles in the new year.
The Chairman, Sagamu Local Government, Hon. Femi Kafaru gave the advice on Sunday during the interdenominational service held at the council premises to usher the year.
Kafaru expressed appreciation to God for seeing the workers through 2016 while thanking God for the opportunity to see another year.
He urged the workers to continue to maintain existing cordial relationships amongst themselves in order to foster unity and progress at the council.
“Where there is unity, people record great achievements while carrying out their tasks. Team effort promotes rapid growth and successes.
“We must continue to support the leadership of the council and the state government in general to take Ogun State to greater heights.
“The bulk of the mission to rebuild the state starts with you and I and everyone’s support,” Kafaru said.
In his sermon, Pastor Wole Onajimi, the Presiding Pastor, Fountain of Hope International, advised the workers to do away with acts capable of jeopardising their integrity in their dealings with the public.
Onajimi further urged the workers to contribute their quota to the development of the council by maintaining the fear of God in their actions and decision making.
The cleric also urged Nigerians to shun ethnic, political and religious differences and continue to work towards building a safe and better nation.
In his remarks, Mr Willie Olugbebi, the Sagamu Head of Local Government Administration, enjoined the workers to make punctuality and hard work their watchwords in the new year to attain their goals.
Olugbebi advised them to shun corruption and all acts that could jeopardise the image of the council, urging them to always put God first in all they do. (NAN)
