Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday honoured 1,000 civil servants who have spent over 30 years in the employ of the state.
They were honoured with the Long Service Merit award. Among those honoured by Sanwo-Olu were 17 serving permanent secretaries who have spent between 30 and 34 years in the service, the Clerk of the Lagos State House of Assembly and other categories of workers who have dedicated over three decades of their life in the state public service.
In his address at the 2019 Long Service Merit Award held at the Lagos State Secretariat, Ikeja, Lagos,, Southwest Nigeria, Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the Secretary to State Government, Mrs Folasade Jaji said that his administration remained committed to the payment of N30,000 new minimum wage.
He urged workers in the state to be more dedicated and key into his T.H.E.M.E.S agenda to take the state to a greater height.
Sanwo-Olu said his T.H.E.M.E.S. would surely move the state to the next level, but noted that civil servants must play their part in the actualisation of his dream.

The hosts made a dream start thanks to a calamitous error by United’s David de Gea, whose clearance cannoned straight into Dominic Calvert-Lewin and then into the net for the striker’s 15th goal of the season. United responded from that early setback when Nemanja Matic’s shot smacked against the Everton crossbar, and they equalised after 31 minutes when Everton’s Jordan Pickford failed to stop Bruno Fernandes’ bouncing shot from 20 yards. Everton upped the tempo following the break in a feisty game where seven players were booked, and the hosts came close to scoring when Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the post with a dipping free-kick. But there was late drama as both keepers redeemed themselves with fine saves, and Calve...
