In a bold move to entrench a culture of performance and transparency, the Ogun State Coordinating Office of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC) has successfully conducted its Second Quarter Hands-On Training on the Performance Management System (PMS).
Held at the State Office in Abeokuta, the one-day training is part of a Council-wide effort to institutionalize a performance-driven approach across all levels of operation.
The session, conducted on the directive of the Director General, Professor Nnanyelugo M. Ike-Muonso, was facilitated by Mr. Sulaimon Abu Ciroma from the Office of the DG, Headquarters, Abuja. It represents a key phase in the Council’s nationwide implementation of PMS, a digital framework aimed at aligning individual staff performance with organizational goals, improving productivity, and ensuring data-driven decision-making in line with best practices in public service delivery.
Speaking at the training the Ogun State Coordinator, Mr. Rabiu B. O commended the leadership of the Director General for driving the Council’s ongoing digital transformation. Describing the PMS as “timely and strategic,” he emphasized the initiative’s potential to link staff performance directly with career progression and institutional success.
