This was contained in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Kunle Somorin.
We gathered that the former Head of Service, TPL Amope
Ajibola Chokor, bowed out of the public service of the state last week.
According to the statement, Alhaja Ottun comes into her new position with impeccable pedigree and service record.
An accomplished psychologist, community development expert and
administrator, she becomes the fourth woman to occupy the office and the
17th Head of Service since the creation of the State.
Until her appointment, Ottun was Permanent Secretary in the Bureau of
Political Affairs and Administration. She previously served as
Permanent Secretary at the State’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism
between 2015 and 2019.
A 1985 graduate of Psychology from the nation’s premier University –
the University of Ibadan – the new Head of Service also earned a Post
Graduate Diploma in Integrated Development from the Pan African
Institute of Development, Bua in Cameroon.
Alhaja Ottun had coordinated many Community Development and Gender
Programmes for the State Government and was also the State Director of
the United Nations Gender Development Programme between 2009 and 2015.
The new Head of Service has over the years proven to be an asset in
different leadership roles she was saddled with. She is also known to
have used her network and creative ingenuity to adapt to changes in
public sector management.
While wishing Alhaja Ottun success in her new assignment, Gov Abiodun
said he believes that she would put her vast knowledge in the
management of the state civil service to good use in her new assignment.
The new Head of Service is happily married and she is the President of Remo Secondary School, Sagamu 73/78set.
