Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, the Delta governor-elect, has promised to place priority on training and retraining the state workers toward effective service delivery.

Mr Oborevwori, also the Speaker of the Delta House of Assembly, stated this when he declared open a-three–day capacity building programme for the assembly staff on Wednesday in Speaker of the Delta House of Assembly, .

He said that the training and retraining of staff, which was the policy thrust of the House, was geared towards building a virile, effective and efficient workforce for the legislature.

Mr Oborevworo was represented by the Deputy Speaker, Mr Christopher Ochor.

“Since 2019, we have been faithful to this commitment and God willing, we will sustain it till our last day in office.

“Training and retraining of staff is a catalyst for quality service delivery in any organisation and that the programme will afford the participants the opportunity to develop their skills and learn the right attitude in the discharge of their duties.

“As we all know, competence and positive attitude in an organisation are sine qua non to efficient and effective service delivery.

”As you commence this capacity building programme, I enjoin you all to give it the attention it deserves to justify the huge investment in this workshop because, to whom much is given, much is also expected,” he said.

Mr Oborevwori added: “This workshop will not only equip you with new skill sets to be effective in your assigned duties, but will also create awareness in managing your health and wellbeing in the office.

”We are hopeful and expect higher performance of your duties after this training programme.”

He thanked the management team of the House led by the Clerk for its support and quality advice.
