The Bauchi State Government, in collaboration with Centre for Management Development (CMD), on Thursday in Bauchi, trained 35 senior civil servants on speech writing, reporting and other communication skills.

Alhaji Yahuza Haruna, Head of Civil Service (HoS), Bauchi State, at the commencement of the two-day training, said the exercise was a confirmation of Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State’s commitment towards improving service delivery in the state.

According to him, the training was for selected civil servants which included permanent secretaries, directors and some administrative officers in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the state.

He added that the training was aimed at equipping civil servants with the necessary skills in speech writing, reporting, and communication for effective service delivery.

“This training is extremely important. SInce assumption of office, we have realised that it is very important for effective communication to thrive.

“When you are having a memorandum that is not understood, that is not communicating to the executive, no matter how good the idea is, it could easily be turned down.

“But with communication that has effective explanations, you can easily get your way through, and it would provide a process in which input and output mechanisms in terms of service delivery are going to be easily achieved,” he said.

Haruna said after the training, he envisaged the state would have a crop of civil servants that could effectively write memos, minute files, and communicate in such a way that would be understood by everyone.

The HoS, who was highly impressed by the turnout and commitment of the participants in the exercise, said he was convinced that the right people had been selected for the training.

He urged the participants to ask questions in order to leave the exercise as better and well-informed individuals, as well as to impart the knowledge on other civil servants in the state.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”
