 Civil servants have been advised to be focused, be at their best, make a difference, and be distinguished in their careers in public service. President of the Association of Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries, Legostate Femi Olubile gave this advice after a briefing heralded in the commencement of the 2021 Alice Hobbs Week in Ikeja. Plus TV correspondent Love Ikukoyedeko was there in our reports. These men and women, all retired, come together annually to celebrate one another, acknowledge those who have passed on, and impact communities through donations of cash and materials to less privileged. President of Alice Hobbs Femi Olubile reiterates the commitments of the Association to us protecting the welfare of members. Everybody has the duty to work towards being better in welfare terms, in output terms, in ideas terms, in contributing to society, in making the lives of other people better. So it is aspirational and it is also symbolic and we want that aspiration and that symbolism to be shared by other people. While highlighting some of the activities lined up for the one-week program, Olubile discloses that the body is set up to leverage on the rich experiences of members to continuously assist the state and country to attain good governance across all sectors. While the Association commends Governor Sao Olu for its developmental projects, they also advise him to focus on all sectors. We are seeking to take ownership of any achievement, rather we recognize that we are in this together and when government excels then everybody is happy. There is so much to be done but they are not relenting, they are doing, we can see it when you go around. It is not the best, we complain of flooding which unfortunately many of us contribute to by our habits, bad habits. They also have a word for those who are stealing active service to the states. We must continuously seek to improve ourselves and use the best ideas, believe ourselves open to best ideas and best practices and also seek to innovate and draw on the experiences of other people, which is happening but which we want to continue to happen. The 2021 Ala Hobs Weeks schedule for 20 seconds to 30th of September 2021 is themed, celebrating past and present with focus on the future.
