Ogun State

MESSAGE FROM THE HONOURABLE COMMISSIONER.

Greetings. As a Quasi Judicial body, Public Complaints Commission, is charged with the responsibility of initiating and receiving complaints from members of the public on maladministration and social injustice in the society. For us in Ogun State, we have lived up to the billing by providing the platform for aggrieved citizens and foreigners resident in the state to air their grievances and obtain redress at no cost. Between May 2018 and January 2019, we have handled a total of One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Nine (1,129) complaints out of which Four Hundred and Forty Eight (448) had been resolved.

We shall continue to engage all relevant stakeholders in the pursuit of the Commission’s vision and mission of protecting individuals/organisations against administrative injustice and promoting an effective and efficient public service that is responsible and responsive to the needs of the citizenry. So far in Ogun State, we have been enjoying the cooperation of MDAs which can be seen in their prompt response to enquiries and giving redress to aggrieved individuals in the state.

However, as an Ombudsman, we need better funding to enhance our operational efficiency. Meanwhile, I give kudos to the Honourable Chief Commissioner, for his exemplary leadership in projecting the PCC regionally and internationally. In this regard, I wish to congratulate him on his election as a member of the Executive Council and the Regional Coordinator for West Africa of the African Ombudsman and Mediators Association (AOMA).
