the December salary as an end of the year gift, the State Head of
Service, Mrs Oluseyi Williams, said on Friday.
Williams spoke at the end of the year get together and appreciation
party for principals and directors in the Ministry of Education.
She said that the bonus would be paid along with the December salary
any moment from now.
According to her, the bonus is to show that the government is
committed to the welfare of workers.
"Some states are owing their workers up to four months salary but that
is not the case in Lagos.
"I was discussing with some HOS and they told me they are looking for
money to pay their workers salaries.
"Our workers will receive their December salary any moment from now
and I am happy to say it that it will come with 15 per cent bonus.
"Government appreciates your service to the state and urges you to
continue to put in your best.
"Wherever you get your daily meal, it is good to put in your best;
your reward is on earth," she said.
The HOS urged the principals and directors to re-double their effort in 2015.
Mrs Olayinka Oladunjoye, Lagos State Commissioner for Education said
that party was to thank the principals and directors for their
wonderful performance in 2014.
She urged them to do more in their duties, adding that to whom much is
given, much is expected.
"You are a veritable member of the education family and we are here to
celebrate you and thank you for taking care of our children in your
care.
"As you take care of the children, God will reward you all.
"We are not there yet but with your support, we will get their
together," she said.
Mr Segun Raheem, NUT Chairman, Lagos branch commended the government
for appreciating the contributions of the principals and directors.
Raheem also commended the government for introducing Eko project, a
World Bank supported project, saying it has improved students
performance in many areas.
