The Chairman of the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission (LSLGSC), Kamal Bayewu, has commended the Sulaimon Kazeem-led administration of Ikorodu West Local Council Development Area for prioritising infrastructural development and staff welfare, among other achievements in the council.
Bayewu gave the commendation during the commission’s visit to the LCDA, as part of the efforts to engage, assess, and evaluate the management’s performance in the 57 councils in the state.
He noted that the visit was aimed at strengthening institutional relations at the grassroots and promoting staff discipline, efficiency, and accountability.
“I want to commend the chairman for his remarkable and indelible achievements in the local government; the infrastructure, this edifice, and by extension, the Ikorodu West community members,” he said.
“Our visit is to see to your welfare, and how you have executed the policies of the council’s chairman. We want to assess your performance and evaluate you. This visit will consolidate on what you have been doing for the past five years,” he added.

Representative of the Permanent Secretary, Ajayi Omobola, said the commission was poised to establish bespoke training sessions for all levels of staff in different departments of the councils, enhance learning, mentorship, and institutional knowledge transfer.
