Speaking at the opening of the training held on Thursday at the Public Service Staff
Development Centre, Magodo, the state Commissioner for Establishments and
Training, Mr Afolabi Ayantayo, said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s government
was committed to empowering the state’s workforce with the right skills needed
to excel and contribute to the state’s development.
“The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and our
ability to harness the potential of digital tools will determine our
effectiveness and relevance in our individual places of work. Therefore, the
need for civil servants to be proficient in the realm of digital technology is
not just a necessity but a strategic imperative,” Ayantayo said.
The commissioner expressed the hope that the training
programme would enhance productivity across various government ministries,
departments, and agencies and improve service delivery.
In her remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Establishments and Training, Mrs Olubusola Abidakun, said the programme was
“designed to empower over 3,000 civil servants with the skills and knowledge
required to overcome the complexities of the digital age,” adding that it also
aims to enhance participants capabilities and foster a mindset of adaptability
within the state’s public service.
The training programme, which commenced on Thursday, will
end on February 14, 2024, with 10 batches of 300 participants being trained per
