Civil servants clamour for capacity building for economic growth


Civil servants who participated at the just workshop training for the 2013 Capacity Building/Training Workshop have asked government to extend it to all other ministries, departments and agencies, security, para-military establishments.
One of participants, Debline Rotimi, while speaking after the workshop organised by the Organisation for the Enhancement of Transparent Leadership in Mararaba, Nasarawa state, disclosed that since she joined service in 1992, she has never attended a workshop before.

According to her, “There is no leadership in our office. If the workshop can continue every three months, we will appreciate and learn more things.”
Another participant, Frank Alagoa also wants the training to be seasonal. He claimed that the workshop will help to achieve the overall goal of government. “It should be thrown across the board because I have learnt a lot,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, the director of the Organisation for the Enhancement of Transparent Leadership, Hon. Christian Nwachukwu said the training is organised to impact knowledge on the staff of the government agencies.
“It is also meant to equip the civil servants. We cannot continue doing things the normal way especially when it comes to timing. We cannot control time but we can be cautious of it and manage it very well, so that the issue of African time will be a thing of the past,” he noted.

The two day workshop centred on goal and agenda setting, accessibility of performances and targets, delegation of responsibilities, curbing corruption amongst others.
