Its primary functions include the recruitment, promotion, deployment, discipline, and transfer of local government employees on Grade Levels 07 to 17, excluding delegated areas.
In his welcoming remarks, Hon. SKO expressed his joy at the presence of the LSLGSC officials and assumed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the Lagos State LCDAs to operate as Local Government Areas (LGAs), citing the effectiveness and diligence of Ikorodu-West LCDA in community development and infrastructure enhancement.

Furthermore, Mr. Tobun acknowledged the unwavering support provided to staff members by the Executive Chairman, ensuring their well-being is prioritized. He also referenced a recent generic training for staff conducted in the past two weeks, with a commitment to future training sessions tailored to specific needs.
The Council Manager indicated that a harmonious relationship prevails within the Local Council, noting the absence of any issues concerning the collaboration between the Executive Chairman and staff members.
In a sensitisation address delivered by Mrs. Bibilomo Olushekun, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Office of Local Government Establishments and Training, ably represented by Mrs. Olaogun Dada, Director of Examination and Training, there was an emphasis on the necessity for the Council-Manager, Mr. Adeola Tobun, to engage administrative officers in Knowledge Sharing Sessions (KSS) to enhance their understanding of public service rules and regulations.
