IMBIBE ATTITUDE OF SELF DEVELOPMENT, HoS CHARGES MGT STAFF
Management Staff in the Ogun State Civil/Public Service have been charged to continuously imbibe the attitude of self development, and not necessarily wait for their employers, although government would continue to do the needful at human capital development of its workforce.
The Head of Service, Dr. Nafiu Aigoro gave the charge today while declaring open a 2-day training with the theme, "Performance Improvement for Management Staff" organised by the Bureau of Establishments and Training, Office of the Head of Service, in conjunction with the Management Studies Department of the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Badagry, held at the Valley View auditorium, Isale-Igbein, Abeokuta.
According to the Head of Service, the Management Staff, who can be aptly described as the bridge for grooming the next generation of leaders that will take over from them, and in no distant time, would be appointed into chief executive posts, if given priority attention in terms of empowerment is not out of place.
He revealed that, while conducting written examinations and oral interviews for eligible officers into the executive posts, gaps were noticed in the managerial and leadership abilities of officers, hence, this management training at this time to build administrative capacities in this set of officers to prepare them for higher tasks.
"In a bid to address the observed gaps, this tailor-made training was packaged in collaboration with the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) as part of our stop-gap solution to the challenge. It is pertinent to note that the participants here are just a fraction of the total number of officers eligible for this training. It is our plan to conduct this training in batches to ensure no eligible officer is left out" , the Head of Service said.
While appreciating the governor for buying into the idea of the training by approving the needed funds, as shown in the administration's commitment towards human capital development, Dr. Aigoro enjoined the participants to reciprocate government's gesture with improved productivity in all their MDAs.
