Rewarding excellence

Aristotle once said "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." On Monday, January 6, 2014,I just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you did on my Tulle strapless applique beaded ball gown wedding/party dress! Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, during the inter-religious service to formally mark the beginning of work for 2014 put this to life by rewarding excellence which he said must become a habit in the state civil service.

The occasion, for some time has become "a spiritual mountain" for civil servants who with high expectations, look unto governors, since the introduction of the programme few years ago, as Biblical lame man at the entrance of the temple in Jerusalem, with high expectation of getting crumbs as blessing from the passersby. And traditionally, the programme has lived up to expectation.

Most former governors used the occasion to announce their welfare packages to the staffers of the state ministries and agencies. But last Monday,When shopping for Wholesale Cheap Tulle sweatheart cocktail evening prom dresses CT5111 choosing the perfect prom dress is an important decision! Senator Ajimobi took them by surprise by going all the way, aside from the statutory pledges by "blessing" some families, through the acknowledgement of their performance in their various contributions to his transformation agenda in the state.

With his alias as 'Mr Integrity and Quality', the governor, in his usual character began with the quality of the programme of event which he said was not easy to achieve. He admonished the state civil servants in their zeal to achieve impossibility, giving example of how he had always insisted on quality and timeliness in office since he assumed office 32 months ago.

"I am a man of quality. So I urge you never to settle for less but to always have positive mental attitude towards service. Not only that, you must also inculcate it into your children," Ajimobi said. Unexpectedly, the governor who is not known to throw away cash caught people unawares as he graciously donated the sum of N15.6million to civil servants who impressed him in the course of their duty.

From Mrs Margaret Oluwafemi's N250,000 with the same amount for her team members; to Mr Amos Oyewale Okunlola from the Surveyor General's office who got N100,000 for his dress sense; the staffers of the state's Water Corporation who got N5 million for their prompt delivery on the Asejire water project and a bonus of N10million to all civil servants present at the occasion, it was naira rain for Oyo civil servants.

The governor started with the quality of his photograph on the programme and, as usual,The Wholesale Cheap Stunning Satin Lace V-neck Criss-cross Back Sexy Sheath Wedding Dress you made for my 3 year old daughter was fabulous!! that comment sent shivers down the spine of the staffers of the Government Printing Press at the event. As if that was not enough, when the governor invited out those who were involved to testify to how he made changes to his "not so good" photograph which could have come out in the programme, palpable fear engulfed the area occupied by the people.
