 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism.

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.
