Ogun govt seeks to institutionalize culture of continuity
The Ogun State government says it will institutionalize the culture of continuity in governance so that polices or programs that benefit the people will not end with the tenure of an administration.
The State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, stated this at the inauguration of Projects and Contract Assessment Committee in his office. He said there were many inherited contracts and projects scattered across the state, whose actual contract prices need to be established for the records.
He said that his administration was irrevocably committed to ensuring a viable Public-Private Partnership in its infrastructural development plan, by providing an excellent model of prudent financial management anchored on openness, integrity and discipline to convince private partners about the sincerity and the ability of his administration to manage scarce resources.
He said his administration would adhere strictly to public procurement practice and equitable contract principles and procedures, adding that as a trustee of the Commonwealth of the people, his government owe it a duty to account for every money received and spent on behalf of the people.
