Lagos State, in conjunction with LASACO Assurance PLC and Consortium of Underwriters/Brokers, has paid N538.9 million as insurance death benefits of 102 civil servants, who died in active service.
Cheques were presented to 250 beneficiaries.
Head of Service Hakeem Muri-Okunola, who delivered a keynote address at the cheque presentation yesterday, said payment of Insurance Death Benefits cheques to relatives of deceased members of staff showed that the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration prioritised worker’s welfare.
Muri-Okunola, represented by the Permanent Secretary (Public Service Office), Mrs. Olasunkanmi Oyegbola, added: “We are paying these insurance death benefits to relatives of deceased staff to serve as a succour, help keep the children in school and so they can have a roof over their heads.”
