Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) director Serifat Talabi has died four days before her scheduled retirement and 60th birthday.
Mrs Talabi, who was the agency’s director of procurement, was reportedly killed in a road accident along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway on October 18.
She was said to have been hit by a vehicle while crossing the highway near the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Camp in the Mowe area of Ogun State.
The deceased had printed invitation cards for a combined thanksgiving, retirement and 60th birthday ceremony set for October 22, at the NERDC Conference Centre in Ikeja, Lagos.
Confirming her death, LASRRA said it received the news with shock.
In a statement by the agency’s public relations officer, Basirat Lawal, LASRRA said, “We are still in shock after receiving the news. She came to the office on Friday. Everything was set for her retirement on October 22, 2025.
“She was supposed to retire on October 13, 2025, when she turned 60, but our General Manager, Mrs Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, was not around, so we postponed it to October 22. The agency will attend her burial.”
Records show that Talabi joined LASRRA in 2018 and rose to the position of director in 2025.
