It was a cheering news when it was announced that holders of Diploma Certificate in Local Government Administration, coordinated by the Lagos State University (LASU), and Public Service Staff Development Centre (PSSDC), has been recognised and approved for advancement by the Governor of Lagos State Mr Babajide Olushola Sanwo- Olu.
This was disclosed by the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Kamal Ayinde Bayewu, during a working visit to Somolu Local Government.
With this new development, no local government staff has any reason to remain stagnant, “This administration is doing everything possible to ensure that your welfare is better,” Bayewu told Council staff members.
Bayewu, explaining why many retirees have their benefits delayed, said “We are all aware that there are Service documents that should be submitted at the Pension’s Office at a stipulated time before we exit the Service, many retirees neglect this vital assignment untill they retired. Let me say it loud and clear, submit all the relevant Service Documents before you retire.”
The Commission Chairman also advised members of the management to learn to train their subordinates, in order for them to be better officers, now and in the future.
