'THE DAWN OF A REAL DEAL: JOS EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL, ANGWARE, PLATEAU STATE.'
IT'S TIME TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO OWN A POND NOT ONLY HOW FISH: JOS EAST LEGISLATURE RECEIVED SUCCO OFFICIALS IN THE LEGISLATIVE CHAMBERS, ANGWARE ON 17/12/2021
During the last few years many organizations have focused on the modern learner and their desire for learning that is personalized for them (from a content perspective and delivery standpoint). This means what they need, when they need it, and in the amount and format they want. The convergence of new technologies and data analytics have enabled this to advance. Many talent professionals moved from designing and developing to curating content.
Then, out of nowhere, COVID-19 appeared and the world changed. Everyone was working remotely and learning new ways of operating, including new methods of doing business, farming, tailoring and many other choices to adapt. The APC-led Government of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, came up with policies and programs that will alleviate the sufferings of the downtrodden in the country through a newly created Ministry of Humanitarian Services, Disaster Management and Social Investment; charged with the responsibilities of distributing wealth to the vulnerable people in Nigeria.
The Leader of Jos East Legislature, Rt. Hon. Samuel Iliya Azi Kayarda, Principal Officers and all the members of the Legislature today received SUCCO officials in the Council's Chamber on familiarisation tour in respect of Rapid Response Register (RRR) initiative aimed at cushioning the effects of COViD 19 on micro and small scale business owners in the country.
After a lengthy but fruitful discussions, the Leader of the Legislature thank the August visitors led by Mr. Dapar Paul, for coming to the Council and also appreciated their well of experience and the knowledge impacted on honourable members. He said, all the Councillors are going to conduct step down training sessions in their respective wards with a view to educating their people on the benefits of the RRR initiative brought to Jos East LGA as one of the backward local governments in the state.
Responding, the Executive Chairman of Jos East LGC, Hon. (Pastor) Yakubu Izang Ezekiel ably represented by his Chief of Staff, Chief James Atang Itsegok JP said “in a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn.” Chief James said even as a remote area, the people of Jos East are very good in procastinating over viable government policies and programs, which would have reduced the scourge of poverty and other social ills bedeviling the people. He encouraged the Councillors to contribute towards getting their people registered for RRR Initiative looking its poverty alleviation potentials. The Council Chairman concluded that "it's time to show people how to own a pond not just teaching them how to fish;" reminding the Councillors that globalization has taken over the entire world and they must learn how to go with the train of digitalisation. Traditional rulers were also on ground to receive the August visitors.
