Lagos State Government on Tuesday presented a N10 million cheque to the relations of a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) official, Folashade Arogundade, killed by a truck on May 25.


Presenting the cheque to the husband, Mr. Tunde Babajide and her younger brother, Mr. Adekunle Arogundade, Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor on Transportation Mr. Oluwatoyin Fayinka said the donation was in fulfilment of the promises of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu when he paid a condolence visit to the bereaved family.

He said although the state and especially LASTMA missed the services of the late officer, who was respected by her colleagues, the gift was to show the governor’s commitment to the welfare of civil servants.

Fayinka urged the beneficiaries to utilise the money.

The SA said a cheque of N5million was written to cater for the education of the deceased’s 18-month-old baby.


He suggested that it should be deposited in an account to be jointly managed by the husband and a relation of the deceased.

A cheque of N3million was handed over to the deceased’s relation, while N2million cheque was given to the husband.

Permanent Secretary Ministry of Transportation Mr. Olawale Maroof Musa said the death of the LASTMA official was sad.



He added that as part of his commitment to the welfare of civil servants, Governor Sanwo-Olu had led a high-powered delegation to the bereaved family to commiserate with them.

Mr. Babajide thanked the governor for his magnanimity and LASTMA for the privilege his family has enjoyed.

He prayed God to guide the governor aright in the task of building a safe and prosperous state.

The deceased’s younger brother, Mr. Kunle Arogundade, who received a cheque of N3million on behalf of her family, thanked the governor for remembering the family in their period of grief. He prayed that such an unfortunate incident would not be recorded in the traffic agency again.

Nice one

fair enough

Finally some encouraging news since how many days now....very impressive

It's from insurance which covers security agents in Lagos State. Only Lagos State has this, not even the Federal government has something like this in place.

Lagos is ahead of Nigeria, other states should emulate this.

May his her soul Rest in Peace.

Stop arguing about what you don't know. Security agents in Lagos are entitled to 10M for permanent disability and life insurance. That's why they are committed to their jobs.

And I'm telling you that it is not correct.

Sanwo Olu or not, they would collect their 10M complete. The one he's referring to is the extra 5M for the baby's education. That one is not covered by insurance.

He would buy Highlander 2011 model. He would now enter Unilag and look for a babe with well-oiled waist.

Go to the village and collect chieftaincy title and start foundation on his land in Ikorodu. Before November 30, money don finish.

He would start using corner eyes to look at the daughter's 5m for her education and start thinking that "school is a scam".

Joybringer:

He will use it to marry another wife, even that money giving to that child for his or her education is not safe when the new iyawo comes in. They should have simply given the child scholarship

Of course, school is not a scam. Only idiots say school is a scam.

But that money, I doubt if they would manage it well o.

U can see the FAMILY RELATIVE SMILING

Please be clear with your head line. "Lagos state government" buhari can never pay such money. All army wey die since last year self, he honor them not to talk it pay them.

Commendable.

They stemmed a fight by separating the cheques.

That's wisdom.

Better stop arguing with him. Leave him to his own. When you post information based on fact, and they respond with emotive reasoning, just free them
