In his public statement, Adeleke said: "I warmly congratulate a worthy son of Osun State, Mr Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan, on his appointment as the new Head of the Civil Service of the Federation."

According to the governor: "His steady rise through the Federal Civil Service, including his service as Permanent Secretary in several strategic ministries, is a testament to his competence, professionalism and commitment to public service."
