The Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Hon. Siju Lawal, gave the charge during one-day training for about one hundred executive officers, secretaries, secretariat assistant and clerical officers on efficient and effective communication skill
Hon. Lawal said that training and retraining of civil servants was imperative to the workers in order to discharge their day to day duty effectively.

He said: “This training can never be underestimated in the sense that this type of training will be organized from time to time, and I want to thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, for giving us the enabling environment to organize it.
‘’This training, which is titled effective and efficient communication organized for the executive officers like secretaries, secretariat assistants and cleric officers, is very important in their day to day discharge of duty. When we talk of communication, it is when you pass information from one person to the other, and of course, if such information is wrongly passed, it will definitely lead to misinformation and misinformation can lead to bad result.

Lawal advised the participants of the training to dedicate themselves and ensure to bring themselves down and humiliate themselves in order to acquire the right skill to be useful for them when they get to their respective ministries and agencies.
‘’Considering the importance of this training, I want to charge all our participants to dedicate themselves, ensure that they participate fully. They must ensure they bring themselves down and humiliate themselves to the extent that they acquire the right skill so as to make it useful for them when they get to their respective ministries and agencies.
‘’Today, we are training about hundred participants for today and this has become a common scenario in this Ministry, which of course, we shall still continue.
‘’Therefore, we have to train them on how to discharge the right channel of communication, either from top to bottom or bottom to top. It may equally be vertical or horizontal. Whatever method adopted, definitely all these information must be correct, true, factual and essentially done at the right time,” Lawal concluded.
