Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Lagos State government will increase the salaries of civil servants in public office.

According to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the decision of his administration to increase their salaries is a result of inflation in the country.
Sanwo-Olu made this announcement during his courtesy visit to the Head, Office of Public Service in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
He told the civil servants that he will work closely with the Head of Service to ensure vehicles for directors are delivered before the end of October.
According to him, government will release one hundred brand new cars for directors, with others to get theirs in subsequent phases.
On housing, the governor said his administration has commissioned about sixteen housing estates for civil servants in the state.
He stated that the State Ministry of Housing will deduct a certain per cent to enable other civil servants to enjoy the housing benefits.
