As the curtain draws near on a sterling career in public service marked by uncommon excellence and ennobled leadership, it becomes imperative to pay glowing homage to an emblem of administrative brilliance, a steward of institutional probity, and a visionary pacesetter in public healthcare governance: Otunba Dr. Ademuyiwa Ben Eniayewun, the outgoing Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Health Service Commission.
Dr. Eniayewun’s professional odyssey through the Lagos State Public Service is nothing short of a luminous chronicle in transformative public management.
A technocrat par excellence, he has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the ideals of transparency, innovation, and citizen-focused healthcare reform.
His tenure has been defined by strategic foresight and deliberate execution, hallmarks of a mind profoundly attuned to institutional progress and systemic excellence.
Endowed with a unique synthesis of intellectual gravitas, strategic dexterity, and unassuming charisma, Otunba Eniayewun administered with precision, led with compassion, and inspired with vision.
Under his watch, the Health Service Commission underwent sweeping administrative modernization, robust workforce revitalization, and the seamless digital migration of core service systems, ushering in an era of enhanced efficiency, responsiveness, and transparency in public health delivery.
His human-centred philosophy transcended policy rhetoric, manifesting daily in tangible outcomes: accelerated professional growth for healthcare workers, improved welfare mechanisms, and the mainstreaming of global best practices across the service spectrum.
His leadership was calm yet assertive, firm yet empathetic, pragmatic yet idealistic, a rare balance that positioned him as both a technocratic anchor and a moral compass.
Now, as he gracefully exits the centre stage of civil service administration, we celebrate not merely a retirement but the legacy of a man whose indelible contributions have left the health governance architecture of Lagos State more robust, responsive, and resilient.
Dr. Ademuyiwa Eniayewun is a name that shall resound in policy circles, mentoring corridors, and the annals of civil service excellence for years to come.
At 60, we join multitudes in celebrating a colossus an intellectual statesman, a reformer of repute, and a compassionate patriot. May this new chapter unveil greater dimensions of purpose, influence, and humanitarian impact.
I, Prince Adeniyi Olutimehin on behalf of my team, Greater Lagos Initiative says congratulations, Otunba. Godspeed and glory to your onward journey.
