The Ondo State Government has resolved to block leakages in all its Ministries, Departments and Agencies in a bid to prevent fraudulent activities in the government systems.
To this end, the government has directed all MDAs in the state to institutionalise the concept of ‘one administration.’
These were part of the resolutions made at the end of a three-day retreat for political office holders and accounting officers in the Ondo State public service.
The resolutions were contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the retreat on Saturday.
The communiqué was jointly signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Oladunni Odu, and the Head of Service, Pastor John Adeyemo.
In the communiqué, it was resolved that Ondo State must fully automate revenue collection, expand the revenue sources and block revenue leakages; while MDAs must prioritise and align capital projects with realistic budgetary provisions to ensure timely completion of key developmental projects.
It was also resolved that “effort must be made to attain full implementation of Treasury Single Account.”
