Sanwo-Olu Tasks Agencies On Quality Service Delivery

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged parastatals and agencies in the state to ensure continuous improvement in the quality management system in their delivery of services.

Sanwo-Olu who stated this yesterday during the governor’s one day parley with heads of agencies, parastatals and government-owned companies organised by the state Parastatals Monitoring Office also called on the state agencies and parastatals to explore new avenues and embrace cutting-edge solutions that would optimise their financial capabilities.

The governor, at the event with the theme, “Transforming Parastatals/Government-owned Companies into Agile Organisations for Greater Efficiency,” held in state’s secretariat, said he believes that if the agencies get it right adequate funds would be made available for the timely and effective implementation of critical projects that directly benefit the people.

Sanwo-Olu said, “Let us collaborate to build a Lagos that embraces inclusivity, sustainability, and prosperity for all its inhabitants. Our aim is to establish a legacy of excellence and advancement for the generations to come.

“Parastatals are established with a mandate to address specific developmental issues that hinge directly on the welfare and wellbeing of the people such as waste management, water supply, housing, transportation etc. This therefore means that the success of any administration will largely depend on how efficient and effective such parastatals  deliver on their mandate.
