The Lagos State Government says this year’s Public Service Week will honour the dedication, sacrifices and invaluable contributions of public servants to governance and the development of the state.



The Head of Service, Mr Bode Agoro, said this at a news conference unveiling activities for the 2026 Public Service Week celebration in Lagos.



The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the programme will hold from Nov.10 to Nov. 17.



Agoro said that the celebration would also provide an opportunity to reflect on achievements, encourage innovation and strengthen commitment to effective service delivery.

Agoro said the celebration was particularly significant as it underscored the need for a responsive, responsible and people-centred public service.

He said activities lined up for the Week were designed to promote staff welfare, healthy living, unity, teamwork and recognition of outstanding performance.

The head of service said the programme will begin with a health screening at the Alausa Secretariat, covering blood pressure checks and other medical assessments.

He said other activities included visits to orphanages and charitable organisations, a special Jumat service, a Christian thanksgiving service and a fitness walk.

Agoro said the celebration would also feature staff engagement with the state government, a public service thanksgiving, long-service recognition, awards for outstanding officers and cultural activities.

He said the annual celebration would culminate in the recognition of deserving public servants for their exceptional contributions to the state.

Agoro urged public servants to participate actively in the activities, describing the celebration as an opportunity to strengthen unity, cooperation and shared purpose within the workforce.

“The occasion belongs to every member of our workforce and offers us the opportunity to celebrate our collective achievements while strengthening the bond of unity, cooperation and shared purpose,” he said.

He also called on the media to provide adequate publicity for the activities and showcase the contributions of public servants to the development of Lagos State.

Agoro expressed appreciation to the state government and stakeholders for their support toward the successful organisation of the celebration.

The Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Mrs Sunkanmi Oyegbola, called on public servants to actively participate in the activities lined up for the 2026 Public Service Week.

“The celebration of our hardworking public servants will provide an opportunity to appreciate the workforce, promote camaraderie and encourage staff to uphold the values of professionalism and dedication.

“I want to urge us all to embrace the activities as a platform for learning, engagement and improved service delivery,” he said.(NAN)
