PSSDC @ 32! π
32 YEARS OF SHAPING EXCELLENCE, DRIVING TRANSFORMATION
Thirty-two years ago, a vision was born - to build a Public Service that learns, leads and delivers.
Today, that vision stands tall at Magodo as the Public Service Staff Development Centre (PSSDC) - the first of its kind in West Africa and the pride of the Lagos State Public Service.
From humble beginnings in 1994, established by Edict No. 9, born from the merger of five training schools, PSSDC has grown to become the engine room of capacity development for Lagos State.
For 32 remarkable years, we have:
Trained over 70,000 Public Servants
Developed cutting-edge curricula that redefined service delivery
Survived politics, pressures and turbulence - standing strong as a symbol of resilience
Evolved into an Innovation Hub with 166+ certification programmes
Produced world-class Public Servants who are driving the THEMES+ Agenda
PSSDC Magodo is more than a training centre. It is a heritage. A culture of excellence. A serene citadel where competence meets character, and learning never stops.
As we mark 32 years, we celebrate every Director General, every facilitator, every staff, every participant who has walked through our gates and made PSSDC what it is today.
The future is even brighter. From a Staff Development Centre to a future Public Service University - the journey continues.
Happy 32nd Anniversary to PSSDC!
Celebrating 32 Years of Excellence, Innovation and Impact!
