NCAOOSCE Takes Staff Capacity Development Initiative to North Central Zone
The National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children’s Education (NCAOOSCE) has extended its staff capacity development initiative to the North Central geopolitical zone, with a training programme aimed at improving workforce performance and strengthening institutional effectiveness.
The training, organised by the Commission’s Human Resource and Administration Department, was held in Lafia, Nasarawa State, under the theme, “Stronger Teams, Brighter Futures for Every Child.”
Representing the Executive Secretary, Dr Muhammad Sani Idris, at the opening ceremony, the Head of Human Resource and Administration, Dr Daha Tijjani Abdurrahman reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to continuous professional development, describing a competent and dedicated workforce as essential to effective service delivery.
He urged participants to actively engage in the sessions and apply the knowledge gained to their respective responsibilities, stressing that staff development must translate into measurable improvements in workplace performance.
The training covered nine key areas of public service administration, including performance management, monitoring and evaluation, decision-making, stress management, artificial intelligence, Public Service Rules, Schemes of Service and effective administrative procedures.
Participants also received guidance on navigating the Civil Service Handbook, alongside interactive discussions and post-training evaluation designed to reinforce learning and assess the programme’s effectiveness.
The initiative is expected to strengthen staff accountability, improve administrative efficiency and enhance the Commission’s capacity to deliver on its mandate of expanding educational opportunities for Almajiri and other out-of-school children across Nigeria.
The North Central programme is part of NCAOOSCE’s nationwide staff development initiative, which is being implemented across the six geopolitical zones. Following the commencement of the programme in Kano State, the Commission is scheduled to take the next phase to the South-West zone before extending it to the remaining zones.
The initiative reflects the Commission’s commitment to investing in its workforce as a foundation for stronger institutional performance and improved service delivery.
