The Lagos Bus Service Limited (LBSL), on Sunday, rewarded some outstanding workers, just as it dismissed some erring staff members during the year.
The LBSL Managing Director, Idowu Oguntona, made this known on Sunday, December 10, 2023.
Speaking on the sidelines of the end-of-the-year town hall meeting with the officials of LBSL held in Oshodi, Lagos, on Sunday, Oguntona said: “We are appreciating 59 of our staff such as Captains, Maintenance and Ground staff with tokens and plaques.
“The Commissioner for Transportation (Oluwaseun Osiyemi) has magnanimously doubled the token to appreciate all the awardees and encourage them to do more.”
He noted that the management, however, dismissed some staff over misconduct, while some were served punishment in the last 12 months.
The Lagos bus service boss urged the LBSL officials to work hard, promising that the management would always reward such input.
He said the LBSL had so far plied 250,000 miles in 2023, the highest in the last four years of operations.

Oguntona commended the efforts of the entire staff for making the organisation proud.
He said the service also generated its highest revenue, despite the subsidy removal on petroleum products.
He added: “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was very proud of the LSBL staff for helping him in achieving seamless transportation in the state.
“President Bola Tinubu has also assured us of scaling transportation across the country with about 11,500 Compressed Natural Gas Initiative buses, which would be purchased as immediate response to the high cost of energy; some will also come to us in Lagos State.
“We expect that there is going to be increase in the fleet in 2024.”
The bus service currently operates with 200 buses, transporting about 55,000 Lagos residents daily.
One of the LBSL drivers, Capt. Abiodun Paul, commended the management for the salary increment and plan to improve on their HMO to enable them have access to free health facilities.
An enforcement officer, LBSL, Kazeem Ogedengbe, urged the management to increase their leave allowance and also to provide more tools for them to be more effective.
