 LAGOS BOOSTS LG/LCDAS’ EFFICIENCY WITH KEY WORKSHOP ON JOB ROLES,  PERFORMANCES


The Lagos State Office of Transformation, Creativity and Innovation (OTCI) recently concluded a crucial workshop aimed at empowering officers from Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).


Mrs. Toyin Anjous-Ademuyiwa, the Director General of OTCI remarked that the initiative focused on equipping participants with the essential skills to create effective job descriptions and establish clear performance targets, ultimately driving greater clarity in roles and responsibilities and enhancing overall organisational effectiveness across the state.


"The purpose of this workshop is to deepen participants' understanding of the importance of job descriptions and performance targets within their roles", she stated. 


The DG, represented by the Director of Reforms (OTCI), Mr. Jimi Otunuyi, averred that the workshop underscored the vital role that precisely defined job descriptions and measurable performance targets play in the effective functioning of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).


Throughout the intensive workshop, attendees delved into the significance of well-structured job descriptions as fundamental tools for robust performance management. They thoroughly examined key elements, including specific responsibilities, required competencies, and definitive performance criteria.


The sessions also provided comprehensive guidance on various approaches to setting performance targets, with a strong emphasis on the widely recognised SMART criteria: ensuring targets are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.


Participants actively engaged in practical group exercises, formulating targets directly aligned with their organisational goals. Interactive breakout sessions further facilitated the valuable exchange of experiences and collaborative problem-solving related to job description development and target setting.


It is expected that by applying the newly acquired skills and strategies, participants are now better positioned to significantly improve organisational performance and accountability. 


OTCI emphasised that ongoing support and follow-up initiatives will be crucial in nurturing a sustainable culture of continuous improvement within the public service sector.
