Sanwo-Olu to civil servants: Recommit yourselves to efficient service delivery

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has charged civil servants in the state to recommit themselves to efficient and effective service delivery for the benefit of all Lagos residents.

Sanwo-Olu gave the charge at the annual interdenominational thanksgiving service for the Year 2023 Lagos State Public Service Week held at Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja, on Sunday, July 9, 2023.

The governor, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, commended the Lagos State civil servants for their support, saying their contributions to the success of his administration could not be over-emphasised.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who restated his government commitment to staff welfare, promised that his administration would not relent in improving the welfare of civil servants by providing a conducive environment and rewarding hard work.

On his part, the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, commended all workers for their diligence to deliver dividends of democracy to all Lagos residents and prayed for the repose of workers who died last year.

Muri-Okunola, who disclosed that the essence of the event was to continually thank God, urged civil servants to continue to render quality service selflessly as they pray and support Governor Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES+ Agenda.

In his sermon, the Guest Minister, Prof. Samuel Daramola, a Provincial Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos Province 69 Ogudu, said Lagos State has every reason to celebrate God for what He has done in the lives of civil servants and the state.

He said public servants are the engine of development who could bring forth economic growth and therefore urged them to be upright and Godly in all their dealings.

The cleric also urged Lagos State Government to declare a Thanksgiving Day to praise God.

Lagos State First Lady, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, was represented by Bukola Akosile, the wife of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, who read the Bible Passage taken from Romans 12: 1-8.
