Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has approved the appointment of Olabode Agoro as the 22nd Head of the Civil Service of the state.
The outgoing HOS, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, said in a circular that the appointment would take effect from September 30.
Muri-Okunola said it was expedient to note that the new HoS joined the Lagos State Public Service on July 1, 2003 and had since served the state meritoriously before his elevation to the status of a Permanent Secretary on August 3, 2015.
He said that until his appointment, Agoro was the Permanent Secretary, Lands Bureau.
Muri-Okunola called all the state’s civil servants to support and cooperate with the new Head of Service to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessors.
