Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has asked the state’s head of service to map out modalities on how to increase the salaries of workers.
Speaking to civil servants at the state secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja on Tuesday, the governor said his administration is sensitive to the plight of its workforce as it is obvious there is much economic pressure in the country
He said the state government will work at alleviating the suffering of the workers so that they can be more effective in the discharge of their duties.
He also said that, as a country, there is a high level of inflation and has therefore instructed the head of service office and the ministry of staff, training, and pensions to start work on how they are going to increase the entire salary of the public servants.
Governor Sanwo-Olu is seeking re-election as governor for next term.
