In a bid to align with the Federal Government’s new civil service reform aimed at going paperless, and to key into the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC)’s organizational objective of exploring the Performance Management System (PMS) for ensuring productivity, transparency, and accountability in staff conduct, the RMRDC Ekiti State Office held a one-day training programme.
The training, facilitated by Mr. Suleiman Ciroma from the RMRDC Headquarters, Abuja, was held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at the RMRDC Ekiti Coordinating Office, Trade Fair Complex, Basiri, Iyin Road, Ado-Ekiti.
The Acting State Coordinator, Mr. Mathew Giwa, encouraged staff members to give the training its deserved attention and participate actively to ensure that the objectives of the programme were achieved. He emphasized that the training was organized to ensure checks and balances and to promote effective service delivery in line with the Council’s programmes and activities in Ekiti State.
In his address, Mr. Suleiman Ciroma introduced the concept and structure of the PMS. He guided staff on how to apply Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to various assignments and emphasized the need to ensure that all tasks assigned by superior officers are carried out in line with PMS goals and expectations.
