Ibas, who stated this on Monday while declaring open a 4-day Transformational Leadership Training Workshop for Sustainable Development, organised by the Rivers State Government in collaboration with the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies in Port Harcourt, noted that the administration focus is driven by strong institutions, a result-oriented public service, and sustained capacity building.
The training brought together permanent secretaries, local government administrators, and directors from various ministries across the state.
The sole administrator explained that the workshop represented a major step in repositioning Rivers State’s public service to meet the rising expectations of citizens in a fast-changing world.
He said the essence of the training was beyond mere system improvement but sought to inspire a cultural shift within the public service, anchored on excellence, accountability, and innovation.
He revealed that it was only regular and relevant training that can break the cycle of stagnation in governance and prepare public servants to adapt, grow, and transform service delivery.
He said: “This training is designed to equip you with the tools and insights necessary to lead through complexity, champion reforms, strengthen local government autonomy, and deliver meaningful results to our communities. I urge you to embrace it fully with open minds and a clear commitment to translate learning into action
“This administration is committed to building strong institutions, promoting efficiency, and fostering a result-driven public service.
“We are laying the foundation for a culture of good governance in Rivers State, one that will serve not just the present generation but also those to come.”
Earlier, the Director-General of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Prof. Ayo Omotayo, described the workshop’s theme, “Transformational Leadership for Sustainable Development”, as both timely and strategic.
He said: “This course is meticulously designed to bridge leadership gaps and equip participants with contemporary strategies for collaborative governance.”
