Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
The Lagos State Government has introduced an Excellence Pathway that will enable qualified fellows of the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy to join the state civil service, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Friday at the graduation ceremony of the academy’s third cohort and the induction of the 2026/2027 fellows at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Ikeja GRA.
He described the initiative as a deliberate effort to bridge the gap between leadership training and public service.
According to him, the pathway would give high-performing fellows who meet the applicable requirements an opportunity to move directly from the fellowship into government.
