Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, says he has given
approval for the commencement of the process to increase salaries of workers in
the state’s civil service.
Sanwo-Olu made this known on Tuesday while addressing the
workers at the state secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja.
The governor said he understands that the high inflation in
the country may have affected the purchasing power of workers.
He said Lagos state will not wait for the federal government before it improves the well-being of workers.
The governor said his administration is proactive to the
yearnings of civil servants.
“I have looked around and I know that as a country, there is
pressure,” he said.
“I know that, as a country, there is a high level of
inflation.
“At our cabinet
meeting, I instructed the head of service office and the ministry of staff,
training, and pensions to start work on how we are going to increase the entire
salary of our public servants.”
The announcement is coming less than a few months before the
2023 general election.
Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, is the presidential
candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
