The Delta State Government has reemphasized its commitment to the training and retraining of staff of the state civil service, saying such will improve staff’s optimum performance and service delivery to the people of the state.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Mr Paul Osahon, stated this during the graduation ceremony of the first batch of computer trainees of the Delta Broadcasting Service, Warri, at Rolof Computer Academy in Warri.

The training which is in partnership with the managements of Rolof Computer Academy is aimed at training staff of DBS Warri, operator of Delta Rainbow Television and Radio Delta, in the area of digital broadcasting.

Osahon said the training was in line with the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration of building a stronger Delta and improving the state workforce through training and retraining of staff for better performance.

He stated that with the training of the first batch, comprising ten staff on various digital broadcasting through the use of computer, the people of the state should expect better and efficient delivery in the broadcast activities of Rainbow Television and Radio Delta FM.

The permanent secretary noted, “We thank God for this day that we are witnessing here. It is a huge thing that has happened to us in the ministry of information because the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration has been harping on training and retraining of staff.

“When you train the staff the knowledge of using equipment is going to be very proficient.  I have no doubt that this training will improve the knowledge of staff and they will bring the knowledge in to improve on their work and workers of DBS Warri will be the best for it to meet all the objectives government has sets for us.

“This training is in line with the Stronger Delta mantra of our Governor, Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa, who believed strongly on the welfare and retraining of the staff of the state civil service. This is a good initiative and it should be applauded.”
