Agboyi-Ketu Chairman Launches Staff Training, Pledges Stronger Workforce Development

The Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Hon. Adetola Adunni Abubakar, has reaffirmed her administration’s commitment to building a more efficient and professional workforce as she declared open the council’s fourth quarterly staff training for 2025.

The capacity-building programme, held Tuesday at the Human Resources office of the LCDA Secretariat, was organised by the HR and Administration Department. It focused on critical administrative competencies including speech writing, report preparation, memo drafting, and proper submission procedures.

The initiative forms part of activities marking the Chairman’s first 100 days in office. It follows the third-quarter workshop held in September, which centred on workplace etiquette, professional conduct, and interpersonal communication.

In her remarks, Hon. Adetola commended the Director of Administration and HR, Mr. Enitan Nojim Adeshina, for championing reforms that are already reflecting in staff performance. She noted marked improvements in punctuality, dressing, and general work ethics since the training programmes began.

“I have seen great improvement in punctuality, dressing, and general work attitudes among our staff,” she said, urging employees to sustain the momentum and maintain excellence in service delivery. She further assured workers of improved welfare packages, stating that “a lot is in the pipeline in terms of staff welfare, as they truly deserve.”

Council Manager, Mr. Akinbami Samson Bolanle, described staff development as a central priority of the administration. He encouraged personnel to use the knowledge gained to strengthen service standards across the LCDA.

“It behooves us all to project positively the image of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA,” he declared, calling for higher responsibility, responsiveness, and better attitudes to work.

The training featured sessions facilitated by resource experts, Mr. Olagunju Yusuf and Mrs. Grace Olubunmi.

The 100-day commemoration of the chairman’s tenure continues this week, with additional activities scheduled in the coming days.
