The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has commenced a staff orientation and sensitisation workshop aimed at promoting professionalism and improving workplace conduct within the agency.
The initiative, launched on March 16, underscores efforts to strengthen institutional performance in Nigeria’s basic education sector.
Declaring the workshop open, the Deputy Executive Secretary (Technical), Mr. Rasak Olajuwon Akinyemi, described the programme as a vital step toward repositioning the commission for improved efficiency and accountability.
The workshop features resource persons from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation (OHSF) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), who are expected to provide guidance on ethics, discipline, and effective public service delivery.
UBEC Executive Secretary, Dr. Aisha Garba, emphasised that the initiative goes beyond addressing absenteeism and lateness, focusing instead on building a disciplined and result-oriented workforce within the commission.
She noted that strengthening staff capacity and professionalism is key to delivering quality basic education, adding that a committed workforce plays a critical role in shaping learning outcomes for Nigerian children.
The initiative aligns with broader federal government efforts to reform the civil service and improve service delivery across institutions.
Officials say the workshop will reinforce core values such as accountability, integrity, and dedication to duty among staff members through interactive sessions and expert-led discussions.
UBEC reaffirmed its commitment to continuous staff development and institutional reforms aimed at enhancing efficiency and achieving lasting impact in the education sector.
