He noted that since the inception of LASPEC, its watchword had been a total commitment to ensuring a better and fulfilling retirement life for the employees of the state.
“We have seriously worked towards the fulfilment of our mission statement, which is to provide exceptional services on pension matters to employees in the Lagos State public service, deploying world class technology and utilising well-motivated workers to ensure financial freedom for Lagos State retirees,” he said.
