Lagos State Head of Service, HOS, Hakeem Muri-Okunola on Tuesday said workers in the employ of the state must be productive in the 21st century due to series of training embarked upon.

Muri-Okunola spoke at a three-day training in Alausa, Ikeja, for officers on Grade Levels 1- 12 of Public Service Office, Office of the Head of Service.

The theme of the training is “Improving Productivity in the 21st Century Public Service.”

Muri-Okunola, said the theme of the training was borne out of the conviction gotten as a result of the training held recently for retirees, which among others advised that those in the active service should be given adequate attention and tutored accordingly on several ways of improving productivity.

The HOS, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Mr. Samson Ajibade, reiterated that part of what came out of the training for the retirees was that government should intensify training for those in the active service.
