Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commended outstanding public servants for their dedication, integrity and consistent service to the state.
Eko Hot News reports that the governor spoke at a special luncheon held in honour of the 2025 Outstanding Public Servants of Lagos State at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa.

Governor Sanwo-Olu noted that public servants who work with commitment and professionalism deserve recognition, stressing that many contribute quietly but significantly across ministries, departments and agencies.
He described the award as a way of celebrating excellence and encouraging a culture of responsibility, leadership and ethical conduct within the public service.
