Yobe Govt invests in civil servants’ development for a sustainable future
The Yobe Government, in collaboration with B&G Human Resource Limited, has organised a five-day retreat and validation workshop to develop a training guide and succession plan for the state’s civil service.
Mr Hamidu Alhaji, the Yobe State Head of Civil Service made this known while declaring the retreat open in Kano on Thursday.
He said the initiative aligned with Gov Mai Mala Buni’s commitment to improving the efficiency of the civil service in the state.
He emphasised the governor’s passion for enhancing the performance of civil servants and ensuring a sustainable succession plan and training guide for the state.
Alhaji noted that the state lacked such documents since its creation in 1991 and highlighted the importance of the initiative in addressing the challenges faced by the civil service, especially in the aftermath of insurgency.
He urged participants to contribute meaningfully to the development of the training guide and succession plan, emphasising that their input would be crucial for improving the state’s human capital development.
The Head of Service highlighted the various benefits of the documents, including providing a guide for training efforts, identifying and mentoring the best officers for higher responsibilities.
He also encouraged B&G consultants to create an interactive forum to obtain valuable information from participants and ensure the production of a high-quality document.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary of the Public Service Office, Dr Bukar Kilo, expressed gratitude to Governor Buni for sponsoring the training program and his commitment to capacity building and staff development.
