USAID: State 2 State TRAINS INFORMATION OFFICERS

By Yunusa Abdullahi 

Media has been described as a  catalyst for development and  reform process in the society. 

This was revealed by the  USAID  Nigeria  State  Accountability  Transparency and Effectiveness  ( State 2 State ) activity  during a  one day  Technical assistance  to Adamawa State  Information  Officers  on governance and  public financial  management  communication  held at Duragi Hotel Yola recently.

According to USAID  (State 2 State ) , Information  Officers  are the  agenda setters  and Gate keepers of their various MDA'S  pointing out that the  workshop  is designed  specifically for the Information  Officers in Adamawa State  in order to enhance  their knowledge  on Communication and  Information management. 

The objective of the  training  workshop  is to  assess the level of  implementation and  commitment for the previous workshops and to identify  any gaps among the  Information  Officers with a view to  strategising  communication  mechanism and  information  flow. 

The  organisers of the  workshop  also  appreciated the efforts of  the  Information Officers  for exhibiting  professionalism  and zeal   while  managing  Information  at their places of assignments. 

 Participants have assured that  they would use the  knowledge  acquired during the workshop  for the purpose intended and  applauded  USAID  (State 2 State ) for organising  such a workshop  hoping that  USAID  will continue to  maintain the tempo.
