The Yobe State government has sponsored the training of 76 Directors and Senior Officers at the Administration Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) Badagry, Lagos as part of measures to fill the gap created due to the retirement of both the middle and senior officers in the civil service.
The head of the civil service, Alhaji Garba Bilal who disclosed this at the farewell ceremony in his office in Damaturu said the training was meant to enhance the capacity of the officers for improved service delivery.
According to him, Bunu’s administration considers training and retraining as the greatest tool for the proper implementation of government policies and programs.
“Let me use this forum to inform you that one of the important cardinal principles of the administration of His Excellency Hon Mai Mala Buni is to ensure that civil servants are trained because If you are not trained, you cannot perform your duties efficiently and effectively.”
“Government is spending a huge amount of money to build your carrier and you should not take it for granted. After completion, on your return with the certificates acquired; some of you will automatically be promoted to the next grade level, therefore I urged you to be a good ambassador of the Yobe State,” he said.
Bilal also disclosed that another batch of participants would soon be sent for training in August 2023.
The facilitator of the ASCON program in the Office of the Head of Service, Bulama Yusuf, said the participants receive two-week training in Lagos, adding that the government had provided air tickets, accommodation, feeding, training fees and other miscellaneous for them.
“Those to benefit from the training include 19 participants in Advanced Human Resource, 19 in Middle Management Course, 10 in Administrative Principles, 9 in Treasury Management as well as 19 in Financial Management Course,” he said.
