Obiano reiterated that there is need for training and re-training of workers to equip them to be at par with their counterparts across the globe.



The Governor who maintained that the trainings which will be in batches will also include Directors who will be trained at ASCON, adding that it would be arranged in such a way that the beneficiaries will train others.

He frowned at those who are in the habit of engaging in private businesses when they were supposed to be in office and expressed dismay over the dress code of some civil servants especially the women.


Others who spoke at the event including the Head of Service, Mr Harry Uduh, Commissioner designate for Local Arts, Culture and Tourism, Sally Mbanefo, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra Broadcasting Service Mr Uche Nworah suggested ways of affecting positive change in various Ministries for efficiency.
