Some top staff of the district such as the Director of Schools Administration, Mrs. Anna Amaju Ako, Director, School Support Unit, Mrs. Oyelowo Adedoyin, and Head of Administration and Human Resources Performance Measures Division, Mr. Ajiteru Lawrence Omotunde, all bowed out statutorily after years of selfless and outstanding services to the district and Lagos State at large.
The Tutor General and Permanent Secretary of EDDI, Dr. Yinka Ayandele in her remarks commended the retirees for their selfless and meritorious services to the district and to Lagos State.
She noted that through the years in service, the retirees have touched so many lives positively by imparting life-changing knowledge to students, teachers and many non-academic colleagues.
Dr. Ayandele who was filled with emotions while speaking, shared personal fond memories with all retirees, especially, Mrs. Ako that their relationship started from their days at the University of Lagos as undergraduate and postgraduate students.
She said; “Exit from service starts another phase of your life which hopefully will be dedicated more to the service of humanity. I pray that you will accomplish much in good health as you begin this new phase.
“You have made my job easy for me; you will see God's favour in all ramifications as you retired gracefully.” Dr Ayandele prayed.
Speaking to Agegepulse Magazine after the event, Mrs. Ako revealed that she was very comfortable working with Dr. Yinka Ayandele, having known her for excellence while in the university together.
