These initiatives, coordinated by the Ministry of Establishments and Training, benefited more than 3,000 personnel throughout the State’s Public Service, encompassing nearly all levels of staff across various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). The emphasis was on improving both role-specific capabilities and fundamental skills that are essential for efficient service provision.

The Honourable Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Mr. Afolabi Ayantayo, described the development as a demonstration of the administration’s determination to strengthen human capital in the State’s Public Service. According to him, the scope and reach of the training programmes demonstrates the state government’s resolve to empower officers with technical knowledge and managerial skills essential for providing exceptional services to Lagosians. He emphasized that a strong and well-equipped workforce remains the bedrock of sustainable development.
In the same vein, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Olubusola Abidakun, expressed satisfaction with the impact of the programmes, noting that the deliberate blend of specialized courses with cross-cutting soft skills has enabled officers to perform optimally in their various roles. She observed that feedback from participants has been encouraging and that the ripple effect will be reflected in greater efficiency across MDAs.
The Ministry also announced that a new phase of training programmes is scheduled for the fourth quarter, commencing on October 2, 2025. These sessions will consolidate the gains already recorded and introduce fresh learning areas that respond to the evolving demands of public service delivery.
The Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Establishments and Training, restated its commitment to continuous investment in capacity building as a non-negotiable driver of sustainable governance and improved service delivery for all residents of the State.
