Umar tasks Lagos State civil servants

Workers in Lagos State employ have been charged to continue to discharge their responsibilities with high level of commitment for the overall development of the state.

The Permanent Secretary/Accountant General, Lagos State Treasury Office, Mrs. Abimbola Umar gave the charge during the Send forth ceremony organised in honour of three retiring officers from the Treasury Office.

While applauding the commitment, hard work and diligence of the retired officers, Mr. Osho Emmanuel, Mrs. Olaoye Bolanle and Mrs. Folorunsho Iyabo, for giving their best to the state for over 35 years without any blemish, Umar stressed that the contribution of each worker in the state is important in actualising the expected “CHANGE” and fulfilling the campaign promises of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

The PS/AG, who was represented at the occasion by the Director, Administration and Human Resource, Mrs. Kikelomo Sanyaolu, said accountants “are prone to fraud by the nature of their profession” but she was happy that no incident of fraud was recorded against any of the officers while in active service.

She added that the three of them have proven that faults and frauds can be prevented with good practice, integrity, hard work, and diligence.

Mr. Osho Emmanuel, who responded on behalf of other retirees, thanked the State Government for the opportunity to serve the state and especially for giving them a befitting Last Day in Office ceremony to honour them.
