 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

LASG TRAINS OFFICERS IN STRESS MANAGEMENT


Towards the realisation of the THEMES Plus Agenda of the Administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu concerning capacity building of the workforce, the Ministry of Establishments and Training organised a two-day training programme for Public Servants.

The training programme with the theme, "Managing Stress and Nurturing Team Relationship", was held today at LCCI with 100 participants from different Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The objective of the training is to acquaint officers with how to balance their personal and professional lives to enhance productivity.

In her opening remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Establishments and Training, Mrs. Olubusola Abidakun noted that the uniqueness of the training was that the resource persons for the training programme are drawn from the Civil Service.

Abidakun advised participants to be proud of themselves as staff of Lagos State, stating that participants must be able to practice all that the government had inculcated by applying it in their various MDAs.

While highlighting the topics to be discussed in the course of the training programme, she emphasised the need to give a listening ear to down-line Officers and avoid the use of the word, subordinate. According to her, "Never use the word subordinate, it is not in the dictionary of the Human Resource Managers".

She stated that one of the topics for training was "Managing Pressure and Stress at Workplace", adding that as a principal in leadership, it was crucial to be able to manage stress.

Abidakun appreciated all the resource persons who have volunteered to be part of the programme. They include the Permanent Secretary of Local Government Establishments and Training, Mrs. Bibilomo Olushekun; Permanent Secretary, Civil Service Commission, Mr. Akinbode Obadina; Permanent Secretary, Public Service Office, Mrs. Sunkanmi Oyegbola, and Permanent Secretary of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mrs. Kikelomo Bolarinwa amongst others.

Director of Training, Mrs. Abisola Dokunmu-Adegbite reiterated that it is time to give back to the community and society which is public service, stressing the need to actively participate in all sessions. She said any officer could be invited in the near future to facilitate in the training programme.
