have you been able to marry this two together and getting this result you have
today in your council,?
Yes to me I
don’t see so many difference between the two, well I can even say the private
sector has more commitment, take for example
when we resume office staff of the local govt comes to work at their convenient
time, we have to talk call them to other. You know anything that involves the
government people will say, it’s not my father’s property, which is not like
that in the private sector, while I was in the private sector or my staffs must
be at work as Early as 7:30am if they want to retain their job, which is not so
when we came in, but today at Yaba LCDA, I have been able to correct that
ideology, also people believe things are done more faster in the private sector,
today have been able to adjust services rendered in my local government to be
more faster than before.
