Why Teamwork Matters in Governance

According to Rt. Hon. Alabi Bliss Oshionogue, acting Chairman of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, collective responsibility is the secret sauce for sustainable governance. He made this clear during a recent pow-wow with the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) at the Council Secretariat. But why is teamwork so crucial?

Well, think of it like this: a football team can’t win if the players don’t pass the ball and work together. Similarly, a government needs all its departments, agencies, and employees to be on the same page to effectively serve the people. By fostering a spirit of collaboration, the Chairman hopes to boost growth and development in line with the policies of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo.

Building Bridges with Local Unions

The Chairman isn’t just talking the talk; he’s walking the walk. He emphasized that he has always had a good relationship with the staff, even during his time as the leader of the legislative arm. Now, as Acting Chairman, he’s committed to strengthening that bond. This is where NULGE comes in.

During the meeting, NULGE Chairman, Comrade Olorunda Friday, expressed his support for the Acting Chairman and promised that the union would do everything possible to help him succeed. It’s all about creating a “we’re in this together” atmosphere to tackle challenges and achieve common goals.

Addressing Salary Concerns

Of course, no conversation about local government is complete without talking about the elephant in the room: salaries. The Chairman explained that some lawsuits filed by former Council Chairmen caused delays in January salaries. However, he assured everyone that the Governor is aware of the situation and is working to fix it.

He appealed for continued support for both the State and Local Governments, stressing that an all-inclusive governance process is essential. Transparency and open communication are key to building trust and ensuring that everyone is on board.

Akoko-Edo: A Health Program Star

Comrade Olorunda Friday also pointed out that the Local Government Council is one of the best performing in the state when it comes to health programs. This is a huge achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the healthcare workers in the area.

The Chairman promised to prioritize the needs of the Union as much as possible, given the resources available. This includes looking into salary and promotion arrears that have resulted from recent changes in the Local Government Administration.

Looking Ahead

The meeting was attended by key figures, including NULGE Secretary Bello Bernard, NULGE Treasurer Roseline Enaifoghe, and representatives from various departments within the Local Government Council. This shows that the Acting Chairman is serious about involving everyone in the decision-making process.

In conclusion, Rt. Hon. Alabi Bliss Oshionogue is setting a positive tone for his administration by prioritizing teamwork, supporting local unions, and addressing key concerns. With a collaborative approach, Akoko-Edo Local Government Area is poised to achieve great things and contribute to the overall progress of Edo State.
