The Governor added that the programme with the theme ‘Serving the Public Through Innovation’ was particularly important because some of the aides were new in the Public Service environment.
He noted that one of the core strategies for effective and efficient service delivery to the people was to think out of the box, as such, political aides must develop new ways of doing things to achieve better results through innovation and creativity.
He enjoined aides to be Ambassadors of the present administration by their words and conduct while giving their best efforts to the development of Lagos.
