According to her, challenges abound in every position one occupies, and every task has its own demands.
“The complexities will keep increasing and the ability to overcome and achieve the desired result will definitely rely more on the exposure, in terms of skills and knowledge of global trends,” she said.
She said that staff training was a cardinal policy of the OAGF, while calling on the management of ASCON to include treasury staff in its capacity building programmes.
She applauded the management of ASCON for considering the Treasury Academy in Abuja as its study centre, adding that the OAGF would provide the necessary support to bring the idea to fruition.
In her remarks, the Director-General of ASCON said that the college was willing to partner with the OAGF on staff training and other required areas.
She said the ASCON had commenced the training of Chief Executives of parastatals, agencies and commissions, assuring that the AGF would be included in the next session of the training in September. NAN
