The Governor made this disclosure during a workshop organised on Thursday in Akure for public officers from the 18 local government areas of the state.
The Governor reiterated that the workshop was organised to ensure strict compliance with the letters and spirit of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.
Dr. Olayide Adelami, the deputy governor of the state who represented the governor at the event explained that the event is an opportunity to reinforce the ethical values that underpin credible, transparent, and people-centred governance.
He said, “The Ondo State Government places a high premium on institutional strengthening, ethical leadership, and zero tolerance for corruption.
“This training programme aligns perfectly with our broader local government reform agenda, which seeks to build capacity, instil discipline, and ensure that public resources translate into tangible benefits for our people across the state.
“This workshop underscores our collective determination to entrench ethical governance, strengthen institutional accountability, and decisively confront the menace of corruption in public service.
“The workshop is coming at a time when citizens rightly demand transparency, integrity, and responsible management of public resources. The training serves as a timely intervention to reinforce the values that define credible governance.”
