The Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC) on Monday commenced a four-day training for security agencies, corporate organisations, academia, research institutes and civil society on work ethics and adaptive leadership.
The Director-General, Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Maj.-Gen. Garba Wahab, said the Work Ethics and Organisational Performance Course was designed to build the capacity of participants to achieve high work ethics and enhance productivity.
Wahab said that ethics in the work place was fundamental given the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, adding that the work from home policy had affected many organisations.
He said that national ethics was clearly indicated in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which included discipline, integrity and dignity of labour.
According to him, if individuals and organisation do their bits of what the nation should do, Nigeria will be a wonderful country because what makes a great nation is present in the system.
He stressed the need for the nation to come together irrespective of the multiplicity of its entity, adding that the USA, Russians and China were also multi-ethnic nations that had effectively managed their diversities.
Wahab said that Nigeria had the material and human resources with enormous knowledge to harness, adding that there was need to have a change of attitude to actualise a better Nigeria.
He said that the 4-Day Adaptive Leadership training with the theme “Strategic Leadership in a Dynamic World”, was organised in conjunction with Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
