In a bid to ensure efficiency and effectively carry out its numerous and demanding task of developing and facilitating job creation programmes for Nigeria’s teeming unemployed, the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has carried out a capacity building training for 131 members of its staff.
NDE’s Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations, Mr Edmund Onwuliri, told Nigerian Tribune that, “One hundred and thirty one officers of the National Directorate Of Employment have completed a three-day capacity building exercise designed to provide them with critical skills needed in the day-to-day discharge of their statutory responsibilities.”
He also said that, “The exercise, which is in line with the Director-General’s strategy to ensure that the staff are ready to design and implement innovative, cost effective and demand driven employment creation programmes, took place in two venues at Asaba, Delta State and Kaduna, Kaduna State.”
Furthermore, Mr Onwuliri said that the Director-General of the agency, Mallam Abubaker Nuhu Fikpo, who addressed the participants, stated that unemployment has become a very dynamic and global phenomenon which changes sharply in its forms and patterns.
According to him, this has made it imperative for those who design and implement the strategies of government aimed at tackling mass unemployment to be equipped with the relevant skills needed to effectively address the scourge of unemployment.
“Officers drawn from the Loans Coordination, Internal Audit, Job Centre, Information and Public Relations, Properties and Utilities and the Women Employment divisions of the Directorate benefited from the capacity building exercise which was professionally delivered under a collaborative arrangement between the NDE and three consulting firms namely: Allianceboots Limited, JiofGlobal Resources Limited and Benfed Investment Nigeria Limited.
“The capacity building exercise featured presentations from seasoned resource persons as well as syndicate sessions where participants deliberated on the issues raised in the presentations and their possible applications to their work environment.
“Certificates of attendance were presented to participants at the end of the exercise. The happy participants commended the management of the agency for the capacity building exercise and appealed that it should be institutionalised as a way of sustaining the productivity of the staff,” Onwuliri added.
