The Lagos State Audit Service Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting professionalism, accountability and ethical conduct in the public service by organising a Knowledge Sharing Session for members of staff on discipline and compliance with the Public Service Rules.
Eko Hot News reports that the training session, held at the Commission’s Conference Room, forms part of the agency’s ongoing staff development initiatives aimed at strengthening institutional capacity and fostering a disciplined workforce capable of delivering efficient public service.
The knowledge-sharing programme featured presentations by two senior officers of the Commission, who educated participants on the importance of discipline, ethical behaviour and adherence to the rules guiding the Lagos State Public Service.
Leading the first session, the Head of the Discipline and Exit Department, Mrs. Oluwole Gloria Olamide, delivered a presentation titled “Discipline in the Public Service.”
She described discipline as strict adherence to established rules, regulations and ethical standards, noting that every public servant is expected to conduct official duties in line with the provisions of the Public Service Rules.
Mrs. Oluwole stressed that integrity, accountability, transparency and professionalism remain essential values for effective public administration, adding that misconduct in any form undermines public confidence in government institutions.
The second presentation, titled “Rules on Discipline and Exit,” was delivered by the Director of Administration and Human Resources, Mr. Gbotesho Kazeem.
He provided participants with a comprehensive explanation of disciplinary procedures within the civil service, highlighting the different categories of misconduct and the sanctions applicable under the Public Service Rules.
According to him, disciplinary measures may include interdiction, suspension, termination of appointment or dismissal, depending on the nature and severity of the offence committed.
Kazeem encouraged officers to familiarise themselves with the provisions of the Public Service Rules and remain committed to the principles of integrity, responsibility and ethical service delivery.
The interactive session also provided participants with the opportunity to ask questions, seek clarification and deepen their understanding of the disciplinary framework governing the Lagos State Public Service.
Participants commended the initiative, describing it as timely and beneficial in reinforcing the standards expected of public servants and enhancing workplace accountability.
The Knowledge Sharing Session reflects the Lagos State Audit Service Commission’s dedication to continuous staff capacity building and its determination to nurture a disciplined, professional and efficient workforce in line with the vision of the Lagos State Government for an accountable and service-driven public sector.
