Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commended 506 local government officials who have completed their years of service, describing their contributions as important to the growth and development of the state.

The governor expressed his appreciation during a ceremony organised to honour the retiring officials for their dedication and commitment to public service.

Sanwo-Olu acknowledged the years of hard work put in by the retirees, noting that their service had contributed significantly to the effective administration and development of communities across Lagos State.

He praised the officials for remaining committed to their responsibilities despite the challenges associated with working in the public sector.

The governor urged the retirees to view their retirement as the beginning of a new phase of life rather than the end of their contributions to society.

He encouraged them to continue sharing their experience and knowledge with younger generations while remaining active in their communities.

Sanwo-Olu also assured the retirees that his administration would continue to prioritise the welfare of public servants and ensure that those who dedicate their careers to government service are treated with dignity.

He emphasised the importance of recognising the efforts of workers who have spent several years contributing to public administration and grassroots development.

The governor congratulated the 506 retirees and wished them good health, fulfilment and success as they begin the next chapter of their lives.
