DTHA THROUGH WITH 2-DAY TRAINING PROGRAM FOR STAFF

A two day training program for staff of the Delta State House of Assembly on salary grade levels 3 to 10  has ended in Asaba with a charge on the participants to put the knowledge acquired at the workshop to good use in their various offices and departments.

The Clerk of the House, Mrs Lyna Ocholor, who gave the charge in her closing remarks at the end of the intensive training program, said staff development remained a priority in the Delta State Legislature.

Mrs Ocholor explained that the theme of the workshop “Good Governance, A Joint Task”, was carefully selected in line with the  realities of the time, saying that the program w huhas to enhance efficiency, productivity and service delivery in the Delta State House of Assembly.

She expressed satisfaction with the quality of papers presented by the resource persons, noting that the participants no doubt gained so much from the lectures.

Mrs Ocholor charged the staff to sufficiently apply what they leant during the two day training program to their duties, saying that she was confident that they were now better equipped with relevant knowledge to perform the task of legislative assignments in their various departments.

“I am indeed so glad with the quality of lectures delivered by the various facilitators in the last two days. It is now left for us to effectively and efficiently apply all the knowledge acquired to our various departments as we return to work on Monday. No doubt you are now better equipped for the task ahead”.

“Training and retraining of staff of the Delta Assembly is a top priority and the leadership has promised to sustain it. I must thank the Speaker for not only approving the program but for personally coming to flag it off. It goes to show how determined the leadership of the House is to have an efficient, resourceful and very committed workforce in the state Legislature. We will continue to improve on what we have at the present for a greater Delta State House of Assembly”, Mrs Ocholor assured. 

She noted that the Legislature was different from other arms of government, in as it was saddled with the responsibility of law making for peace and good governance of the state, hence the need for capacity building for its workforce at all times.

The resource persons drawn from within and outside the state, including Mr John Mutu, Ibrahim Usman, Dr Joseph Ochogwu and  Mr Emmanuel Tudou, took the participants to various areas of knowledge development and urged them to target greater goals in their assigned responsibilities in the State Assembly.

Some of the participants who spoke commended the Speaker and leadership of the House for the training program which they described as impactful.

They promised to effectively apply all they learnt as they returned to their duties, saying that they never had it so good since they were employed in the Assembly.

Papers delivered included Scene Setting and Value re-orientation, the Parliament as a Critical Arm in Governance Process, Work Ethics and Values as Tools for Organizational Growth, Personal Effectiveness, Goal Setting and Success tips, Career Development and Communication Skills, among others.
