The Lagos State Government has celebrated 17 retired permanent secretaries at a Pens-Down Ceremony held in their honour, marking the conclusion of over three decades of service to the state.
According to a statement obtained on Monday, while speaking at the event held at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, described the ceremony as a celebration of commitment, perseverance, and exceptional public service.
He noted that every employee aspires to begin their career well and end it stronger, in good health and sound mind—an achievement he said the celebrants had attained.
Agoro welcomed dignitaries, families, friends, and well-wishers, stressing that the occasion was unique because it recognised individuals who had given more than 30 years of exemplary service to the people of the state.
He expressed the state government’s appreciation for the retirees’ “unquestionable loyalty, unwavering commitment, undiluted dedication and untold sacrifices,” affirming that their contributions had significantly shaped the growth and development of Lagos State.
Agoro assured the retirees that their relationship with the state does not end with their exit from active service. He noted that their expertise would continue to be engaged through the Association of Lagos State Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries, adding that their welfare remains a priority through the Post Service Directorate.
He also extended appreciation to the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, for his support of public service initiatives, and commended the Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, ’Sunkanmi Oyegbola, and her team for organising a befitting ceremony.
Speaking on behalf of the retired permanent secretaries, Adekanye Amudat expressed gratitude to the state government for the honour bestowed upon them and assured that, though retired, they remain “not tired.”
