Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has sworn in 14 new commissioners and five advisers.
The commissioners and advisers were approved by the House of Assembly last week.
Fayemi added that the inauguration marked the beginning of a full-fledged state executive council since assuming office in 2018.
He said: “You all knew the state of our state before I was inaugurated and you could attest to the fact that we have raised the bar and change the landscape for better now within these few months.
“Commissioners and advisers are creation of the constitution. Those appointed today emerged through wide consultation. I want to tell you that you were chosen because people believed in you.
“You must try and represent your people well. In coming up with this list, we ensured that each council gets one commissioner each.
“Make sure you make yourselves accessible. This is a government of restoration and you must key into our 4-cardinal objective of this government in your respective ministries.”
The governor added that the government would not tolerate inefficiency.
“Penalties are there if you don’t live up to expectations. This is an opportunity to write your names in gold for being part of the restoration team.
“Don’t share the exaggerative view that government is an avenue to amass wealth.
“For those who know how to grumble, we won’t hesitate to ask for your resignation if you are not contended with the meagre resources accruing to you,” he said.
