outstanding public servants.
He
encouraged civil servants to continue striving for excellence and live as
examples in whatever they do.
The
governor also urged them not to give up in being the best to justify the
confidence reposed in them, as well as letting people have something good and
original to say about them.
Sanwo-Olu
commended the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola for his efforts.
He said
that the state government was committed to the welfare and service it promised
to deliver to the state.

Speaking
earlier, the Head of Service, Muri-Okunola, urged the awardees not to rest on
their oars.
According
to him, the objective of the best officer awards was in a bid to recognise and
reward excellence.
He urged
them to continue to exhibit the high sense of responsibility, diligence,
commitment to duty and unalloyed loyalty which were the qualities and values
for which they had been recognised.
