The awardees are Ajayi Bembe Babatunde, Zonal Head, Zone B; Adebanjo Alade, Comptroller, Apapa; and Mr. Age Luqman, Zonal Head, Bariga/Iyana-Oworo, who were honoured for their demonstrable dedication to duty, exemplary professionalism and sustained commitment to the effective discharge of their statutory responsibilities.
The recognition, according to the organisers, underscores the importance of celebrating public officers whose diligence, integrity and conscientious service continue to contribute meaningfully to the attainment of institutional objectives and the broader public interest.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki during the presentation expressed profound appreciation to the management of City Herald Magazine for identifying and celebrating the outstanding performance of officers within the Authority.
Bakare-Oki noted that such recognition constitutes a significant affirmation of the painstaking efforts of LASTMA personnel who operate daily under demanding circumstances to facilitate seamless traffic management, promote road safety and enhance the motoring experience across Lagos.
