Lagos PMO: No sanctions for underperforming agencies

By Lukman Olabiyi, Lagos

The Lagos State Parastatals Monitoring Office (PMO) has clarified that it does not sanction underperforming agencies and parastatals due to government policies prohibiting such actions.

Speaking at the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing marking six years of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat’s administration, PMO Permanent Secretary Adetutu Ososanya outlined the agency’s oversight role.

Ososanya explained, “In government, we don’t sanction agencies and parastatals for non-performance. When we identify performance gaps, we invite the CEOs for a dialogue to address the challenges and find solutions.”

The PMO monitors 102 state agencies, inspecting 86, including key revenue-generating bodies, between November and December 2024 to ensure transparency and efficiency.

She announced a pilot pensioners’ verification exercise for agencies with independent recruitment powers, in collaboration with the Lagos State Pension Commission and the Ministry of Establishments and Training, to enhance coordination and streamline processes.
