Yobe State Government has sponsored 149 civil servants for a capacity building training at the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Lagos.
The participants, drawn from various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), include 48 directors undergoing Advanced Human Resource Management and 69 staff of the Ministry of Finance taking part in Financial Resource Management courses.
During the send-off ceremony in Damaturu, the Yobe State Acting Head of Service, Abdullahi Musa Shehu, urged the participants to be worthy ambassadors of the state and to demonstrate excellence throughout the training. Represented by Alhaji Abbas Isah Bizi, Permanent Secretary, Manpower Development, Shehu said the initiative was part of the administration’s commitment to improving efficiency in the civil service.
“The government is not merely sending you for training; it is investing in the future of Yobe State. The knowledge and skills you will acquire are vital to enhancing the performance of our workforce,” Shehu stated. He commended Governor Mai Mala Buni for his dedication to human capital development.
He added that millions of naira had been invested in similar training programmes within and outside Nigeria, including Kaduna, Kano, Abuja, and Saudi Arabia.
According to him, such investments reflect the government’s belief that a well trained workforce is key to effective governance and service delivery.
The Focal Person on Training and Succession Plan, Ibrahim Bulama Yusuf, described the exercise as historic, noting that all 149 participants were fully sponsored by the government.
Yusuf added that the remaining 32 will attend the one week Effective Communication course.
He said the exercise demonstrates Governor Buni’s strong commitment to developing a competent and result-oriented civil service in Yobe State.
