I want to encourage the newly-employed staff that you are now in the public sector. The civil service has rules of regulation that guide the operations of workers.”

He said “MCO has its rules, and also this institution has a way of rewarding those who do well, and also has a way of punishing those who also go contrary to the rules.  I want to encourage all of you to be dedicated, committed, productive in your work as civil servants.”

One of the inductees Olamijulo Oluwapelumi while responding to the lectures he said  “ The composure and the fatherly love of the Director General is something to be admired  , the way he addressed us like a father , his words that struck me most was that he said “ Make a name for yourself in service “  he instructed us that we should deliver well on our responsibilities , base on my  exposure and the teaching today , I will make sure that I am loyal, discipline and  diligent at work . I am quite privilege to serve this organization

All the management staff of MCO gave words of advice to the inductees one after the other before the event came to a close.
