Hon. Princess Surah O. Animashaun, FHTI, Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government, has congratulated Hon. Ahmed Ayinde Seriki on his reappointment as a member of the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission.
Epe Insights reports that Animashaun conveyed the congratulatory message on behalf of the people of Epe Local Government, describing Seriki’s reappointment as an opportunity to continue contributing to the local government system in Lagos State.
Seriki has served as a member of the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission representing the Epe Division. Records from the commission’s activities have identified him in that capacity during official engagements.
In her message, Animashaun said Seriki’s reappointment would provide another opportunity for him to bring his experience and knowledge to the administration of local government affairs.
She also described the development as recognition of the confidence placed in Seriki’s capacity to contribute to grassroots governance.
According to Animashaun, Seriki’s experience in public administration would remain valuable as he takes on another tenure within the commission.
The congratulatory message also highlighted the importance of an effective local government system in the administration of communities across Lagos State.
The Lagos State Local Government Service Commission plays a role in matters relating to personnel administration within the state’s local government system.
Its responsibilities include areas connected with recruitment, promotion, discipline and career management within the unified local government service.
The commission also undertakes engagements with local governments and LCDAs to monitor workforce development and service delivery.
Seriki has participated in several official activities involving the commission and local government councils across Lagos State.
In May 2025, he was listed as Commissioner II representing the Epe Division during a commission working visit to Ibeju-Lekki Local Government.
He also participated in the commission’s engagement with Eti-Osa Local Government, where issues including staff health, ICT development and local government administration were discussed.
These engagements form part of the commission’s broader interaction with local government authorities and their workforce.
Animashaun, in her message, expressed confidence that Seriki would use his experience to contribute to the responsibilities attached to the new tenure.
She wished him wisdom and excellence as he begins another chapter of service.
She also prayed for impactful contributions and greater accomplishments during the period.
The message further described Seriki’s reappointment as an opportunity to strengthen his contribution to the development of local government administration.
At the grassroots level, the effectiveness of local government institutions is closely connected to the quality of their administrative workforce.
The Local Government Service Commission has continued to engage councils on issues relating to staff development, professionalism and service delivery.
During an official working visit to Ibeju-Lekki in 2025, commission officials reviewed issues concerning the council workforce and encouraged staff to maintain professionalism and commitment to their duties.
The commission’s activities are therefore connected to the broader administration of local governments and LCDAs across Lagos State.
For Epe Division, Seriki’s role places a representative of the division within an institution responsible for important aspects of the local government workforce.
His reappointment also provides continuity in his involvement with the commission and its activities.
Animashaun’s congratulatory message comes as a goodwill gesture following the announcement of Seriki’s return to the commission.
She expressed her wishes for a successful and rewarding tenure.
She also called attention to the importance of experience and institutional knowledge in strengthening public administration.
The message noted that Seriki’s new tenure provides another opportunity for him to contribute to the administration and development of the local government system.
As the commission continues its responsibilities, members are expected to participate in activities aimed at improving the effectiveness of local government administration.
For residents, an efficient local government system remains important because councils are the level of government closest to communities.
Effective administration at that level can support better coordination of public services and improve institutional processes.
Animashaun concluded her message by once again congratulating Seriki on his reappointment.
She wished him wisdom, excellence and meaningful accomplishments throughout his tenure.
The congratulatory message reflects the continued interest of Epe stakeholders in appointments and developments involving representatives of the division within Lagos State institutions.
Seriki’s reappointment also places renewed attention on the role of the Local Government Service Commission in strengthening grassroots administration across the state.
