The Lagos State government has eased the retirement process for public servants in preparation for their exit from active service.
LASG recently sensitised public servants who are set to retire statutorily and voluntarily from July 1 to December 31, 2025.
Speaking at the 28th Retirement Benefits Documentation Seminar for prospective public servants at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja, the Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro, revealed that the programme proves the State Government’s commitment to quality staff welfare.
Confirming that the gathering focused on seamless benefits processing and post-retirement planning, Bode vowed that the state would remain dedicated to supporting retiring officers who gave their all while they could still carry out their official duties.
He then thanked the retiring staff for their service over the years, stressing that their selfless diligence, sacrifices and commitment to the state’s progress will never be forgotten.
“The annual seminar is designed to provide retiring public servants with comprehensive information and assistance that will guide them in experiencing a stress-free retirement documentation process, as well as provide continuous sensitization, guidance and necessary support to navigate the phase of retirement from the State Public Service.
The importance of proper documentation cannot be over emphasised. Retirement requires careful planning and preparation. I urge all intending retirees to take proactive steps in securing their retirement benefits by completing the necessary procedures,
Without a doubt, your expertise, experience, and institutional knowledge have shaped our Public Service,” he said.
The Director-General, LASPEC, Mr. Babalola Obilana, added that the seminar was set up to offer key information and guidance to prospective retirees, while breaking down the documentation process and guaranteeing total compliance with the Contributory Pension Scheme’s (CPS) rules.
