The Lagos State Government says it has trained 23,000 public servants and implemented a new minimum wage of N85,000 as part of sweeping reforms to strengthen the public service.
Afolabi Ayantayo, Commissioner for Establishments and Training, disclosed this at the 2025 ministerial briefing to mark the second anniversary of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Oluโs second term in office.
Ayantayo said the government also focused its interventions on three key areas, including human capital development, industrial harmony, and public service reforms. According to him, between May 2022 and December 2024, no fewer than 23,420 civil servants participated in over 185 targeted training programmes aimed at improving efficiency, leadership capacity, and digital competence within the public sector.
