New Kogi Head of Service retires after 72 hours

The newly appointed Head of Service in Kogi, Mrs Hasana Lawal, has been retired.

A statement issued on Friday in Lokoja by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Folashade Ayoade, confirmed the retirement of Lawal.


She was retired barely 72-hours after being appointed as the substantive Head of Service on Aug. 23

Lawal had acted in that capacity from March 15, 2016 and no reason was given for her retirement from the civil service.

Ayoade said that her retirement was with immediate effect.

Both Lawal and Gov. Yahaya Bello hail from Okene Local Government Area of the state.

“The State Government thanks her for her services and wishes her well in her future endeavours,” Ayoade said.

Ayoade, however, said that Bello had graciously appointed Lawal as his new Special Adviser on Civil Service, Labour and Pension matters.

She also announced Mrs Deborah Ogunmola as the new Head of Service with effect from Monday.
