President of Association of Lagos State Retired Head of Service and Permanent Secretaries (ALARHOSPS), Dr. Femi Olugbile has called on civil servants to up their skills.
This, he said, was to meet the modern challenges of service delivery.
Olugbile spoke with reporters after the Quarter meeting of the association at Lagos State Printing Corporation premises, Alausa.
According to him, workers must continue to update their knowledge for efficient delivery.
He said: “Develop yourself continuously; do everything to enhance and develop yourself continuously. You cannot give what you don’t have; so try to have as much as possible to be able to give as much as possible.”
The association, he said, has members with great skills where the state government can still tap from in moving Lagos forward.
“We are not out to point out deficiencies in the civil service. It is for the system to look inward and make adjustment for enhancement and civil servants in Lagos have been very efficient in terms of service delivery. We are blessed in the state to have a system that encourages effectiveness. Though, being a group of people with so much experiences and unique skills, if system wants us to still play certain roles, we can then have a partnership and go forward in competition and that is the kind of relationship we want.”
Olugbile urged members of the public to embrace programmes of the state government especially in the area of health insurance scheme.
According to him, ALARHOSPS leadership will bring members on board to access quality health care services.
