state government sponsored 251 senior civil servants for the
Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) workshop and
examination.
Speaking at the launch of the 19th Batch ASCON workshop and
examination at the Murtala Mohammed Library, Kano, Minjibir said the
gesture was to enable the beneficiaries acquire quality administrative
and managerial skills.
He also said that the state government had sponsored 10 officers from
the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning to pursue a master's
degree programme at the Regional Centre for Training in Aero Space
Surveys (RECTAS), Oyo State.
According to him, the training was aimed at meeting the state's
manpower requirements for effective land administration reforms,
following the establishment of Kano Geographic Information System
(KANGIS).
The H.O.S charged participants to make the best use of the training
opportunity by giving the facilitators' maximum cooperation so as to
ensure the success of the programme.
Responding, A. A. Peters, the Director-General of ASCON, who was
represented by a Director, Dr Tahir Fagge, remarked that the two-week
management workshop would broaden the intellectual scope of the
participants.
"It will instill in them the requisite analytical skills of solving
complex problems in the course of their official functions," Peters
said. "It will also enable them to respond appropriately to the rapid
socio-economic changes within their respective organisations.''
