Kogi Local Government Service Commission Raises The Bar: As Staff Undergo 2 Day Performance, Service Delivery Training In Lokoja
By Our Correspondent, Lokoja
A two-day capacity building workshop on Performance Management and Service Delivery for local government staff has commenced today, Wednesday, 11th November, 2026, at the NULGE House, Ganaja-Ajaokuta Road, Lokoja.
The workshop, organised by the Kogi State Local Government Service Commission in collaboration with Alebpat Investment Resources Nig. Ltd., runs from 11th to 12th November, 2026.
Declaring the workshop open, the facilitator, Dr. Alpha Ebune, said the training is designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills and working capacity of local government workers, with emphasis on efficiency, accountability, discipline and improved service delivery to the people at the grassroots.
According to him, performance management is no longer optional in modern public service. Workers must understand targets, measure results, and be able to justify their output in line with the reforms and expectations of the present administration.
Participants, drawn from across the local government areas of the state, are expected to be exposed to practical sessions on work ethics, performance appraisal, service delivery standards, record management, teamwork and citizen-centred service.
Stakeholders at the event commended the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Dr. Adams Adabenege, for repositioning the Commission to an international standard.
They noted that under his leadership, the Commission has moved from routine administration to proactive capacity development, staff welfare and institutional reforms, a development they said has restored confidence, professionalism and pride among local government workers in the state.
“We are proud of him always,” one participant said, adding that the workshop is a clear indication that the Commission is intentional about building a workforce that can deliver on the development agenda of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
