As part of her determination to enhance productivity and good service delivery in jobs creation and employment generation for year 2023, the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has organized capacity building seminars and workshops for her various cadres of staff.
Speaking at a workshop, NDE Director General Mallam Abubakar Nuhu Fikpo said the objective of the various workshops was to equip the NDE staffers with the requisite knowledge of modern administration and to imbibe right work ethics and attitude for efficient service delivery.
According to him, as the apex job creation agency of the federal government, “NDE relates to many publics especially several classes of the unemployed in the country who are to be given new orientation on sustainable jobs and viable option of employment.
“Our personnel therefore have to be up to date in principles, standards, policies and guidelines that provide capabilities necessary for effective service delivery”.
In one of the workshops organized in conjunction with Rikadez Nigeria Limited for the directorate’s human resources personnel, key papers that were presented include, Code of Ethics by Oyoyo Kate, Expectations from Public Servants by Audu Faisal Ibrahim, Discipline in the Civil Service by Mrs Folarin Dupeola, and Essentials of Time Management by Stella Chukwuma.
In a similar development, the NDE also organised workshop for her key officials at the grassroots from the 36 states across the nation on ways to form NDE beneficiaries into cooperative societies in order to ease ways of sourcing external funds for business expansion. Resource persons were brought from the Federal Department of Cooperatives to train NDE officers on the modality and benefits of the initiative.
Induction course was also organised for some of the newly employed staff of the agency. Highlight of the event was the distribution of certificates of attendance to the participants.
