Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji, made this known in Abuja yesterday while leading a body of permanent secretaries on peer-review to Federal Ministry of Education.
He also pledged to reposition the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) and Public Service Institute (PSI), Kubwa, to be able to carry out required and effective training of civil servants at both higher and middle level manpower.
Goni Aji said this was in line with the decision of the federal government to promote made in Nigeria goods and services instead of wasting limited resources on training abroad for which institutions in Nigeria could effectively provide.
He said, “At our own level and in particular in the Office of the Head of Service, we discovered that we can no longer export or import our training programmes, especially those that we have the competencies locally in Nigeria”.
The head of service further said that the country was deeply embarrassed with a particular incident where a seminar on fighting corruption in Nigeria with Nigerians as participants and resource persons living in Nigeria but the venue of the training programme was taken out of the country to Ghana, adding that this would no longer be tolerated.
