The training workshop organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria for Directors in the Administrative Cadre in the State Public Service has the theme: Consolidating Transformation Gains in Lagos Public Service: The HR Perspective.
Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Mr. Jide Sanwo-Olu who represented Governor Babatunde Fashola restated government’s commitment to the development of the state’s workforce, just as he promised to continue to improve their welfare.
While describing the workers as the greatest asset of the state government, Sanwo-Olu stated that government would not relent in its effort at training and retraining public servants in order to ensure that the state continues to remain the centre of excellence.
He said as part of its commitment to the improvement of the workers’ welfare, the state government recently approved and would implement the new salary package for the workers with effect from this month, a feat he described as second to none as the state was the first to implement the new salary package in the federation.
