Agbede served as the Ministry of Works and Transport’s permanent secretary prior to his new position.
He succeeds Mrs. Peju Babafemi, the state’s first female Head of Service, who is scheduled to retire from the state’s civil service on June 30 after having accrued the required 35 years of service.
According to a statement released yesterday and signed by the governor’s top press secretary, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, Agbede will begin serving as Head of Service on July 1, 2022.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Babafemi has received praise from Governor Fayemi for her shown intelligence, assiduity, and professionalism, all of which have significantly aided in repositioning the state civil service for the best possible service delivery.
The current Head of Service, Agbede, graduated from Ondo State University (now Ekiti State University) in Ado-Ekiti with a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Law degree. In 2006, he was admitted to the Nigerian Bar.
He started his career as a personnel officer with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ondo State in 1988. He was on secondment to the Ekiti State Independent Electoral Commission (EKSIEC) as Executive Secretary between 2000 and 2004.
