The Management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has resolved to sustain its policy direction targeted towards training and re-training of members of staff nationwide in order to encourage peak performance in the discharge of their duties.
The Director, General Services and Coordinating Director, Human Resource Management Department, Abdul Rasaq-Salawu, disclosed this while declaring open a one day Peak Performance Coaching Course for Assistant Directors and Public Relations Officers held at NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, Abuja.
Mr Salawu noted that, “as a leading youth organization in Nigeria and the African Continent, the workforce must be trainable and up-to-date in order to conform to the prevailing global trends.”
He commended the Press and Public Relations Unit of the Scheme for initiating such an invaluable training in line with the policy directive of the Management of the Scheme and urged other departments to replicate the positive development.
Earlier, the Director, Press and Public Relations, Adenike Adeyemi, disclosed that the training was geared towards repositioning staff of the Scheme to reinvigorate the “can do spirit”, be at the top of the game and unlock the secret weapon of achieving relevant and best practices in the workplace.
She stressed that the Workshop is aimed at raising the bar, standard and enhance the capacity of the Scheme to uphold peak performance and remain relevant to the peculiar challenges of Nigeria as a nation.
In his presentation on ‘Work Ethics’, the resource person, JFK Abiona urged the workshop participants to continuously seek for new knowledge that is relevant to their official engagements.
He admonished them to make themselves relevant to the Scheme at all times by being professionally branded and acquiring entrepreneurial skills.
He also enjoined them to enhance their personal integrity which will serve as a prelude to organizational achievements, adding that every staff must endeavour to work as team players without which organizational goals will become a mirage.
Mr Abiona observed that NYSC has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and have the highest social capital in the country and therefore urged the staff to strive to sustain the achievements of the Scheme and to become the best in their chosen fields.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the one day peak performance training was organized for members of staff of the Scheme by JKF Abiona Consultancy Firm as a Corporate Social Responsibility.
The firm has been partnering the NYSC Scheme in its Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme since 2012.
