RSG, LEAD To Partner On Capacity Building For LGAs
The Rivers State Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Hon. Samuel Eyiba, has assured that his ministry will team with the Leadership Empowerment, Advocacy and Development (LEAD) group to organise capacity building programmes for local governments in the state.
The Commissioner, gave the assurance when members of LEAD paid him a courtesy call in his office, recently.
Eyiba said that capacity building for the people is never a wasted venture, but a meaningful business that is capable of bringing out the best from members of the public.
He also noted that the venture will try to eliminate wasteful spending as well as improving good governance in the local areas.
He also assured delegation that efforts would be channelled to ensure that due process is followed in the choice of the first two LGAs that are meant to benefit from the training.
However, a member of the team and also a capacity building officer, Mrs Bose Eitokpah, hinted that the state has already been selected from the Niger Delta states as centre for capacity building after a clean assessment process.
She noted that LEAD was on a fact finding mission and will not compromise on her bid to do a transparent job.
