The chairman of Kosofe Local Government, Barr. Moyosore Ogunlewe has commended the management and staff of the council for their contributions towards the success recorded last year as he sent forth retirees.
No fewer than 10 staff members retired from the council services after attaining retirement age.
The retirees include Adeyemi Taofeek, Adewuyi Mosunmola, Adetayo Modupeola, Balogun Isiaka, Popoola Moriamo, Akinmolayan Victoria, Olaniyi Abayomi, Olajide Oluremi, Ashaka Suzan and Adebayo Ojo.
Ogunlewe commended the retirees for their contributions to the growth and development of the local government area.
The council boss, who was represented at the occasion by his Vice-chairman Mr. Oluwole Sosanya, noted that hard working, dedication, loyalty and support that the management and staff gave the administration in the preceding year was responsible for the unprecedented achievements recorded.
He, therefore, assured serving staff members of his administration’s continuous support, stressing that their welfare would be uppermost in the agenda.
“I thank all the NULGE executives led by Prince Ade Orababa, the management, staff and non-pensionable staffs for their dedication, maturity, sincerity, loyalty, perseverance, and the total support you’ve given to me and my team in the last one year and few months we’ve assumed office.
“Our success, so far, was possible because of all the people here. I can say it anywhere that Kosofe Local Government is the best.
“Continue to believe in our administration and in our staff, many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.
“With that spirit, we can make 2023 a year of accomplishment and truly build a life of dignity for the people.
“I promise to meet up with your demands and make your welfare paramount.”
