NES PARTNERS OGUN STATE TO TRAIN PUBLIC SERVANTS ON POLICY AND PLANNING

The Nigerian Economic Society (NES) has partnered with the Ogun State Government to train public servants on policy formulation, planning, and implementation.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening governance capacity and improving the quality of public sector decision-making in the state.

According to organisers, the training programme will focus on equipping government officials with modern tools for economic planning, data-driven policymaking, and effective resource management.

They noted that strong institutional capacity is essential for achieving sustainable development and ensuring that government policies deliver measurable results.

Officials from the Ogun State Government said the partnership aligns with ongoing reforms aimed at improving efficiency and accountability in public service delivery.

Experts involved in the programme will also address key areas such as budgeting, performance evaluation, and development strategy formulation.

Stakeholders say continuous training of public servants is critical to improving governance outcomes and addressing complex economic challenges.

The programme is expected to run in phases, with participants drawn from various ministries and government agencies across the state.
