The Lagos State Government on Thursday honoured 100 workers who are not on the Oracle data-based with long service award.

The officers were drawn from across all Parastatals in Lagos State.

Head of Service, HoS, Hakeem Muri- Okunola, his address at the event held in Ikeja, Lagos, said the objective of instituting the long service Merit award was to direct employees of Lagos State parastatals and government agencies who are not on the state’s Oracle database to further underscore the present administration’s commitment to employees’ motivation and satisfaction.

The HoS, represented by the Permanent Secretary Parastatal Monitoring Office, Mrs Kafayat Ajenifuja, urged the awardees not to rest on their oars but rather continue to exhibit a high sense of responsibility, commitment to duty and unalloyed loyalty which are the qualities and values for which they were being honoured.

“The administration today presented long service awards to 100 state public servants not on the Oracle database of the state government.

He enjoined all public servants in state to keep up the good attitude to work for which Lagos has earned the appellation of Center of Excellence.
