Tolu Ibitola's Public Service
Public Service
Mr Ibitola has been around when it comes to allaying the fears of the common masses in terms of sorting them out of their educational, material and social needs. He can practically give out his life for humanity, which he does for no political gains but for the sake of compassion. He has an innately characteristically designed gene for making life easier and better for the mass that come his way.
The Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Kayode Fayemi, Mr Tolu Ibitola has extended hands of love to the people of Usi-Ekiti as he donated food items, essential materials and cash to cushion the effect of the stay at home directive caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Tolu Ibitola who was accompanied by Commisoner for Environmental and Natural Resources Mr. Gbenga Agbeyo and S.A Logistics to the Governor Mr. Tunji Aribasoye moved from street to street to distribute the consumables which included semovita, rice, wheat, garri, spaghetti, noodles and soup ingredients were distributed among the most vulnerable irrespective of their political affiliations.
Every now and then, a few outliers show up, resolutely displaying solid commitment towards employing the influence and authority of their offices in driving lasting impact and advancing the cause of the populace, both in words and in deeds. These government officials not only perform their duties to the letter but also carry it out with a heart of service and altruism towards the people they serve.
Mr Tolu Ibitola is one of such outliers. Renowned for his conspicuous wit and heartwarming benevolence, is driven by his effervescent passion for humanity and keen desire to leave an indelible impact wherever he finds himself. These qualities set him apart from the crowd. With a career as a public administrator spanning over a decade, Mr Tolu Ibitola has consistently brought his unique combination of skill sets, pizzaz and dynamism to different projects and development schemes initiated through his modus of influence and designed to drive sustainable impact. He perhaps gets his zest and dynamism from the vibrant city of Lagos were he was born.
Why Public Service?
As someone who doggedly believes in leaving an indelible impact on the sands of time, Mr Tolu Ibitola sees public service as one of the most effective ways to transform society. Public office begets wider reach and political will to champion societal change and sustainable impact in the lives of the people. Such change is possible when people with good conscience and commitment to social change venture into partisan politics to wield political power. For Mr Tolu, the decision to venture into public service was a moral obligation and ideological conviction to serve the people and effect a course correction in our dear state under the mentorship of a transformative leader.
