EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission LGSC has repackaged the content of its Annual Structured Training Programme (STP), to achieve global best practices in human resources development and the need to consolidate on the merit-based system for performance management and enhanced productivity in the Unified Local Government Service.

This was disclosed today by the Permanent Secretary, Local Government Service Commission (LGSC) Mr. Abiodun Bamgboye while addressing the eligible officers on Grade Levels 13 and 14 in the Unified Local Government Service, at Immaculate Heart Comprehensive High School, Maryland.

He noted that the Revised Structured Training Programme is aimed at supporting capacity building and more importantly promoting eligible, competent and productive officers from the lower to higher grades on the basis of current performance and competencies that may be required in the future.

Bamgboye explained that this effort of the Commission is to facilitate seamless career progression and the desired efficient service delivery at the Local Government level.

The Permanent Secretary reiterated that the RSTP is expected to address the needs in the Unified Local Government Service including; Job Specification Training Sessions and Cross-Cutting Knowledge training sessions.

In his words, “The Job Specific Training Sessions is designed and expected to address the competency of all the LGs/LCDAs officers with the rudiments and technical know-how required for the next promotion post in the various grade levels and cadres”.

“The Cross-Cutting Knowledge Training session is intended to address conversance with the Public Service Rules & Regulations, Provisions of the Extant Circulars, New Trends in the General Management Principles, basic history of the state, as well as highlighting various policy thrust of Government, programmes and achievements.” He added.

Bamgboye averred that “promotion is not just served for free” noting that apart from having met the seniority criterion, all eligible officers must not be involved in any disciplinary action and are expected to possess 3 years of maturation from the previous grade level.

He warned that “officers facing any disciplinary action are not expected to be present for the on-going promotion whether it has been concluded or not: the moment the process has started you are no longer qualified to participate in the promotion session”.
