Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, at the weekend presented a new car to Dr. Kazeem Lakadir, star winner of the State’s Civil Service Award programme, in appreciation of his outstanding performance and character in the service.
Lakadir, a staff of the Ministry of Health, won the star prize following a painstaking screening and recommendation of the Award Presentation Committee.
The governor, while congratulating him and other awardees, promised to sustain his administration’s motivational programmes for workers in the state.
“We have come to the end of the civil service week, which is a well organised event. It is nice to see smiles on your faces. Let me congratulate the awardees of this event. It is truly well deserved. It was only yesterday I was mentioning what the Ministry of Health did during the COVID-19 pandemic and their outstanding performances. This award has come to show that I was not misplacing my praise for them,” he said.
He hailed the Head of Service, Mrs Suzan Modupe Oluwole for the initiative, which, was designed to make workers happy.
“I congratulate the Head of Service for putting this event together. It is a good thing to make sure that the workforce is happy, to rally them together and make sure the right things are done for the state. On our part as a state, we will make sure we always do the most responsible and sustainable things for you to make sure you have a conducive environment to work, and make sure your salaries are paid as and when due. We will do the needful to make you happy. Once you are happy you will deliver the service to the state.”
Other prizes were doled out to the runners up and other categories of awardees, among them Plasma TV, refrigerators, power generating set, and fans.
Civil servants who spoke at the event took turns to appreciate the Governor for being labour friendly.
