The Epe Division of Lagos State has recorded another milestone achievement with the appointment of three indigenes as Permanent Secretaries in the Lagos State Civil Service.
EpeInsights reports that the new appointees are Mrs. Adedeji Oluwakemi Amudat, Dr. Pitan Adesola Ayodele, and Mrs. Alaka Monsurat Titilope.
Their appointments have been widely celebrated across Epe and its environs as a significant step in strengthening the division’s representation in state governance.
Residents and community leaders described the development as reminiscent of the era of Rt. Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, when Epe enjoyed remarkable inclusion in government appointments and policy direction.
During that period, a memo initiated by Hon. Wale Raji, then a serving Permanent Secretary and close ally of Ikuforiji, had resulted in the appointment of seven out of eight Epe indigenes recommended for top civil service positions, with the eighth, Engr. Bade Adebowale, also appointed months later.
Before that breakthrough, Hon. Raji had been the only Permanent Secretary from Epe Division. The feat under Ikuforiji’s leadership marked a turning point in the division’s administrative history, setting a standard that continues to inspire unity and progress.
With the latest appointments, stakeholders say history has repeated itself, reaffirming Epe’s growing influence in Lagos State’s administrative structure.
