 The chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission, Ahmed Amshi, said the commission is focused on developing the capacity of its staff for optimal performance. He said that these in Abuja are the opening of a three-day capacity building for staff of the House of Representatives with a theme, enhancing capacity for legislative services. The chairman noted that capacity building for staff cannot be overemphasized and promised to continue to develop the staff through continuous training. Elected politicians who may or may not have the knowledge, the expertise of making laws, they can only be successful with your own contribution, guidance and whatever. So the need for giving you the necessary required training to help in drafting laws that are going to be effective for good governance is very, very necessary. The National Assembly Service Commission would at all time give their support in the issue of training our staff to develop their capacity. I have strong conviction that the best way to maintain optimal performance and productivity in any system or organization is to empower the workers that form the pillars of the institution or organization. Through this capacity building, we are not only building institutions, we are making them work. I recognize and salute the consultants who have assembled eminent and very sound subspaces ready to deliver their lectures, share their experiences and interact with the staff. I have no doubt that at the end of the program, the beneficiaries will be better than you being for greater service for the legislature and the Nigerian state. I'm equally proud within and outside Nigeria to provide technical support, like plan, in ensuring a continuous capacity building of all fathers and to ensure that at no time, even with officers of time from service, at no time should we have the best of competent officers in the system. Taking up a continuous capacity building reminds me of the need to appreciate Dr. Clemen Ongmango and his team in the policy and legal advocacy centre and the club who have been consistent in supporting capacity building natural legislatures, especially the National Assembly, since our return to democracy. I wouldn't know what the problems are, but all we know that they are coming up with this initiative at the right time when we have a lot of experts in legislative parties retiring. So I believe this is a very good initiative to ensuring that the staff that are in the system are well equipped to handle the challenges ahead.
