LASG Releases List of SLGs, Supervisory Councillors for 57 Councils.
The Lagos State Government has released the list of Secretaries to the Local Governments (SLGs) and Supervisory Councillors for the 57 Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) across the state.
The development marks a significant step in consolidating administrative structures at the grassroots level following recent leadership transitions in the councils.
Sources within the state’s political and administrative structure confirmed that the lists were formally handed over to Executive Chairmen at the close of work yesterday. The Chairmen were also directed to ensure that swearing-in ceremonies for the appointees are concluded on or before March 2, 2026.
The prompt release of the appointments and the firm timeline for inauguration reflect Lagos State’s established governance culture, which prioritises the swift stabilisation of local administrative frameworks to ensure continuity in service delivery.
Political observers note that appointments at the council level often signal broader strategic direction, particularly as the state gradually approaches another electoral cycle. Analysts say the move is aimed at strengthening grassroots governance, enhancing coordination within council administrations, and reinforcing institutional structures.
Although the composition of the lists differs across councils, stakeholders maintain that performance, rather than political affiliation, will be the true measure of success. The newly appointed officials are expected to support their respective Chairmen, deepen community engagement, and drive policies that improve service delivery and local development outcomes.
Community leaders and party stakeholders have congratulated the appointees, urging them to justify the confidence reposed in them through dedication, accountability and tangible impact in their various councils.
Beyond routine administrative responsibilities, the new council executives are also expected to play a role in strengthening grassroots political structures and sustaining the developmental momentum for which Lagos has become known.
As the state moves forward, attention will be focused on how effectively these appointments translate into measurable improvements in governance and the quality of life for residents.
