As civil servants from grade level 13 resume work today after over two months of lockdown, the Lagos State Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs Ajibola Ponnle, has stated that the state government is committed to building a 21st workforce that will deliver the dividends of democracy to Lagosians across every area of human needs by directing its training and capacity development programmes to both generic and technical areas of competency.
The Commissioner disclosed this during the Year 2020 Ministerial Press Briefing organised as part of activities to commemorate the first year in office of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, noting that one of the notable achievements and innovations to training programmes under the present administration is the introduction of online learning programmes, starting with Webinar series, which had ensured that the capacity of the entire workforce was developed even during the period of state-wide lockdown order.
