Read Time:2 Minute, 37 Second

In order to fulfil their mandated responsibilities, civil servants in the Lagos State Government have been asked to step up their efforts in the upcoming year.

The counsel was given by Head of Service Mr. Bode Agoro during the Tuesday interdenominational prayers and Thanksgiving session for public servants, which was planned for Y2024.

At the Adeyemi-Bero Auditorium, the location of the prayer meeting, Agoro addressed the staff via Zoom and praised their devotion, loyalty, and commitment to their jobs. He remarked that they had to put in even more effort and dedicate themselves to their profession than they had in the past.

In his words, “As we began this New Year with new resolutions, renewed hope and great attainment of ministerial mandate, which in turn represents the attainment of expectations, I would like to urge us all to endeavour to redouble our efforts in the new year”.

“It is the totality of individual achievements that would effectively translate into the discharge of our duties and responsibilities in our respective MDAs. Let’s give our best at all times”, he added.

The HOS expressed gratitude to God for allowing the employees to see another year despite the upheaval and difficulties of 2023.

Agoro told employees that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had graciously approved the procurement of 120 brand-new vehicles to be allocated to substantive Grade Level 17 directors in the Lagos State public service. Agoro said that 120 fortunate directors will be the proud owners of brand-new cars this year in recognition of their dedication, accomplishment of the ministerial mandate, and fulfilment of his electioneering campaign for civil servants.

He declared that for the benefit of all state employees employed as civil servants, the government also planned to enhance the delivery of other welfare programmes, such as housing and health care.

“Our health is so paramount, the State Government has provided more accessible healthcare service throughout the State. As such, let us avail ourselves of the opportunity already provided by the state government and pay very serious attention to the policies and programmes of the present administration. I would like to implore you not to take it with levity”, Agoro said.

The Chairman, Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Olubunmi Fabamwo, FCIPM, in her goodwill remarks, enjoined the entire public servants to ensure that they are thankful to God at all times in everything they do.

She, however, admonished them to have an improved mindset to be a better version of themselves, as well as working effectively with each other to achieve the THEMES Plus agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.

The Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Mrs. ‘Sukanmi Oyegbola also advised public servants to continue to be more thankful to God for his protection, provision and indeed all seen and unforeseen graces for everyone.

She added that without any doubt, 2024 would be a progressive year for all workers.

Prayers were also offered by Muslim and Christian clerics, including Imam Hakeem Kosoko and Dr. Saeid Ahmad from the Lagos State Central Mosque, Alausa-Ikeja, and Christian clerics including the Presiding Chaplain, Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa-Ikeja, Rev’d Dr. Oladele Ajayi.
