The Lagos State Government has disbursed the sum of 398 million naira as insurance benefits to 136 beneficiaries of 85 deceased public servants who died in active service.

Speaking during the presentation of cheques to the beneficiaries at the state secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, the state Commissioner for Finance, ABAYOMI OLUYOMI, stated that the payment of insurance benefits to families of deceased staff members was proof that the administration of Governor BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU held the welfare of its workforce as a top priority.

The commissioner emphasised that the government attached importance to the provision of insurance welfare packages for its workforce and also to government properties. 

He said the payment of the Insurance Death Benefits to the congregation of the beneficiaries is basically to serve as a succour to their immediate families and to ensure a much better future for those left behind by the deceased.
