“The civil service is the backbone of government, and when it operates effectively, everything else falls into place.

“To lead the Commission, I have appointed Mrs. Boladele Dapo-Thomas, a retired Permanent Secretary. She brings years of experience and a deep understanding of what service means. Joining her are Mr. Fatai Olalekan Lasisi, Mr. Lateef Yahaya Olawale, Mr. Afolabi Olatunji Sobowale, and Mr. Rufus Adekoya Adedapo, who will also serve on the Commission.

“Each member represents one of the five traditional divisions of our State and brings a unique perspective shaped by their respective communities.

“Congratulations to the newly sworn-in members. I trust that you will uphold the values that make Lagos thrive: integrity, fairness, and the courage to do what is right, even when it is difficult. I believe our civil service can and should serve as a model for the rest of the country.” Babajide Sanwo-Olu
