*•Level 16 Officer Wins Gov Special Impromptu Quiz Competition Cash Reward*


The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday presented 10 cars to recognise public servants who have distinguished themselves in the junior and senior categories across the State Civil Service.

The Governor also announced a N5million cash gift for a Level 16 officer in Lagos State Civil Service for winning an impromptu quiz competition personally coordinated by the State's Chief Executive.

Speaking at the luncheon with the Year 2019/ 2020 outstanding officers, (Junior and Senior categories) in Ministries Departments and Agencies, Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas held in Ikeja, Governor Sanwo-Olu urged officers in Lagos State Civil Service to continue to be change agents and outstanding public servants.

He also encouraged civil servants to continue striving for excellence and live as an example in whatever they do.

The Governor also urged them not to give up in being the best to justify the confidence reposed in them as well as letting people have something good and original to say about them.

Governor Sanwo-Olu while presenting keys and documents to the 10 recipients of the cars, which were drawn through a raffle draw commended the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola for his efforts, saying Lagos State Government is committed to the welfare and service it promised to deliver to the state.

The recipients of the cars who emerged through a raffle draw at the grand finale of activities lined up to commemorate the Year 2021 Public Service Day, comprised four junior and six senior officers.

Recipients in the junior category were Basirat Shogbola, Olalere Alaka, Kikelomo Ogunbiaro and Olufunmilayo Alase, while those in the senior category were Olanrewaju Jaji, Olayiwola Odukoya, Adekunle Ipaye, Waheed Alaba, Victoria Adegbite and Olanrewaju Disu.

A Level 16 officer in Public Service Staff Development Centre, Mr. Taofeek Oladiran Ajetunmobi won a N5million gift from the Governor.

Speaking earlier, the Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, urged the awardees not to rest on their oars but continue to exhibit the high sense of responsibility, diligence, commitment to duty and unalloyed loyalty which are the qualities and values for which they have been recognised.

He said 166 out of 180 nominees were recommended for the Outstanding Officers’ Award, noting that the awardees comprised 101 officers in the senior category and 65 officers in the junior category.

The Head of Service said this year's Public Service Week featured various activities, which included mass work for fitness, variety show, among others, adding that the objective of the best officer awards was in a bid to recognize and reward excellence.

Baba for the boys

Sanwo-olu you are doing well

Commendation is really good and it also encourages others to work hard.

Some states on the other hand are rewarding their own outstanding civil servants with a 40% slash in their salaries, to help fight kwaruption.

Nice one, but hope there are no other people that deserves it also but has nobody to recommend them

Nice development. This is a way to encourage civil servants to put in their best in discharging their duties. God bless you Mr governor

Please do you know when he will recruit different civil servants in thousands to do all the constitutional responsibilities of the local and state governments?
Any chance of him doing that soon

The only Governor I know that doesn't joke with the plight of his workers.

Nice one from Lagos state Government. When you empower your people, they will love you and keep voting for the party that brought you in...

But up North, they empower their people with Poverty and illiteracy.

Well-done Sir..... I knew it , no LASTMA or VIO official will ever get any of this award because they have different mentally of making daily money from motorists.......

But he jokes with the plight of the unemployed youths who are too lazy, according to Buhari, to get their own priorities right
If Sanwo-Olu is not joking with the plight of the jobless youths, why has he not recruited thousands of them in the past two years like Makinde who has far less money?

Not bad even though it's a raffle and as a result some even more deserving hardworking staff wouldn't get recognition unfortunately.

That's a fact!

On a different note, Lagos State has enormous issues that must be resolved quickly else we'd continue to degenerate at an alarming rate.
In no particular order: traffic congestion, traffic law enforcement, security, drainage control, water and sanitation, to name a few.

He needs to prioritise.

Well deserved.

Congratulations to them

I'm wondering from which ministry the awardees draw from. The only ministry that deserve this gift are those in health ministry, transportation and Education.

He try

I must commend him on this

Congratulations to the winners

Rewarded for hard work.

Good gesture.

Sometimes he get it right, many times wrong.

I pray he doesn't drown with Tinubu.

Such a pity.
