Lagos State Records & Archives Bureau organizes a specialized training, the third in the series, themed “Designing the Records and Archives for Efficient and Effective Service Delivery” for Archivists and Registry Officers across ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in Lagos State on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th June 2021.

According to a statement released by the Director-General, Mrs. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, the participants are drawn from public infrastructure-based MDAs across the State with the sole aim of exposing this category of staff to global best practices in information management and innovative ways of keeping public records, as well as other relevant documents that belong to Lagos State.

The director-general further stated that efficient public record keeping is an integral tool in government policy formulation, and such a crucial responsibility should be treated with utmost expertise and professionalism as this translates directly to effective economic planning and social development for the benefit of the people in the State.

Adebiyi-Abiola also said that the training is an affirmation of the Government’s commitment to investing in its staff an attitude of excellence through capacity building as well as conforming with the Administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda in the areas of Tourism and Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy in the collective interest of the people of Lagos State.

Furthermore, as it was with the earlier edition and in compliance with the COVID-19 protocol, the upcoming training will hold online via the Zoom platform.

A team of erudite professionals with hands-on experience in the field of records and information management will be facilitating diverse topics that cover the training theme for robust knowledge sharing, in order to promote efficient service delivery for the benefit of all Lagosians.

A similar edition of the training, the first in the series, took place in March 2020 with participants from selected ministries, departments and agencies in Lagos State for enhanced service delivery across the State.
