In its bid to ensure harmonious industrial relationship in local government administration, the Ondo State Local Government Service Commission , (LGSC), yesterday organised a workshop for members of executives of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, (NULGE), in the state.
The one day workshop which held in Akure and powered by a Lagos based organization, OG-Six Multiventures Resources Limited had in attendance union leaders across the 18 local government councils and government functionaries among other stakeholders in local government administration.
In his address, the Chairman of the state Local Government Service Commission, (LGSC), Mr Femi Idris noted that the theme of the workshop is apt and timely, saying harmony was key in any administration.
The chairman represented by the Commissioner in charge of Training, Manpower and Development in the commission, Mr Ife Iji commended the governor Akeredolu-led administration in the state for prompt release of funds for various trainings for the workers.
While pointing out that training is very important in promoting quality service delivery, he stated that “the more trained you are, the better you become on the job”.
Idris however noted that local government as an arm of government was created by law to take governance closer to the people at the grassroots, hence the need to promote harmonious industrial relationships in its administration.
He noted that the topic of discourse cannot be over-emphasised in ensuring peaceful co-existence among the workforce, the government and the communities.
He therefore urged the participants to pay adequate attention to the details of the papers to be delivered to boost their knowledge and work towards a crises free local government administration.
Speaking with The Hope, the state NULGE President, Comrade Bola Taiwo lauded the Akeredolu government in the state for its various developmental projects and especially for giving workers’ welfare a priority.
