A two-day capacity-building training workshop for Registry Officers drawn from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State Civil Service has been organized by the Directorate of Establishments and Pensions, Office of the Head of Service, Asaba.
Officially declaring the workshop open, the Head of Service of Delta State, Dr. (Mrs.) Mininim Oseji, disclosed that the workshop was organized to correct lapses of ineffectiveness, nonchalant attitude in some registry sections, insufficient knowledge among staff, and to reposition the registry for optimum performance.
Describing the training as timely and necessary, Dr. Oseji emphasized that the Directorate of Establishments and Pensions was charged with the responsibility of managing their career and identifying knowledge gaps for appropriate intervention.
She urged participants to listen attentively, ask questions, share experiences, and network, adding that they must reflect what they learn on the job — in how they keep records, treat mails, manage files, and how they conduct themselves as Registry Officers.
The Head of Service thanked the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for demonstrating his commitment to human capital development and for creating an enabling environment for the training and retraining of officers in the State public service.
Dr. Oseji also thanked the Permanent Secretaries of the Office of the Head of Service and the Directorate of Establishments and Pensions, Dr. (Mrs.) Charity Ehimen and Mr. Kingsley Olomukoro, the Director of Manpower Development, Ms. Maria Adheke, Staff of the Training Department and Resource Persons for supporting the program.
In his welcome address, the Functioning Permanent Secretary in the Directorate, Mr. Kingsley Olomukoro, noted that the workshop aims at repositioning registries for effective service delivery. He stated that seasoned retired and serving officers have been carefully selected to take participants through the rudiments of registry management — duties of registry personnel, treatment of mails, classification of files, filing and file movement, indexing, follow-up systems, and work ethics.
