The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, approved the release and handing over of 10 new 56-seater buses to public servants in different arms of government.

This is part of his commitment to ease transportation challenges encountered by workers in commuting to and from their homes to various offices.

The Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, while presenting the 10 new buses at the Lagos House, Ikeja, said the gesture of the governor was a follow up to the 35 buses allocated to the Centralised Staff Bus Scheme (CSB) a week after assumption of office, adding that the presentation, which was based on requests, attested to the commitment of the State government to give priority to welfare of public servants.

While presenting the buses on behalf of the Head of Service, the Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Samson Ajibade, maintained that the new buses handed over for use of workers would further improve work standards, just as it would motivate staff to discharge their duties effectively and efficiently.

He said the buses would ease their transportation problems, guarantee early resumption to work and improve productivity.
