The Chairman, Local Government Service Commission (LGSC), Mr. Kamal Bayewu, has kicked off his working visit to the Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State.
Speaking during his visits to Ojo LG, Oto-Awori and Iba LCDAs, Bayewu commended the achievements of the Chairmen as well as their cordial relationships with all stakeholders in their communities.
He encouraged all their staff to be diligent, resourceful and continue to maintain harmonious relationships with the stakeholders, while also supporting the executives to achieve optimal results and success.
The Chairman spoke extensively on service delivery and the need for improved Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the development of the Councils, reiterating that revenue generation is vital for the development and growth of the Local Councils across the State.
Admonishing the staff on abscondment, leave matters, falsification of service dates and documents, Bayewu implored them to exhibit good character on their jobs for optimum performance, informing that Local Council workers will soon be called for verification at the Service Commission.
He also disclosed that officers on Grade Levels 07-12 should expect to be moved within their division while Grade Levels 13-17 are expected to work anywhere within the State so as to learn, unlearn and relearn in a bid to occupy positions of higher responsibilities.
The Permanent Secretary, Local Government Service Commission, Mr. Abiodun Bamgboye, enjoined all staff to be guided by the Public Service Rules, Financial Regulations and other extant guidelines in the course of discharging their duties effectively and efficiently.
On the issue of tax clearance, Bamgboye encouraged the staff to update their records with the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) and directed the Council Treasurers to ensure that all outstanding tax records are updated.
