The Office of Public Service, in partnership with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, hosted a strategic engagement themed “Institutionalizing Sexual Harassment Prevention in the State Public Service.”
EpeInsights reports that the session brought together senior public officers across various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) including Permanent Secretaries, Directors and Deputy Directors to strengthen workplace accountability and promote a culture of respect, dignity and safety within the Lagos State Public Service.
Discussions at the session focused on critical areas such as an overview of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), the role of Human Resources in preventing and addressing workplace harassment, and a review of the Lagos State Guidelines for Preventing and Addressing Sexual Harassment.
Participants also received Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials to support internal sensitization efforts and ensure that all public offices in Lagos remain safe, inclusive and professional environments for employees.
The Lagos State Government reiterated its zero-tolerance stance toward all forms of harassment, emphasizing that public institutions must lead by example in upholding dignity, fairness and equality in the workplace.
