The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has trained participants from public and private organisations on Smart Leadership, Staff Management and Effective Service Delivery.
The Five-Day Smart Leadership and Staff Management Training, sponsored by NCDMB and powered by Pages Spot Construction Limited, was held from Oct. 12 to Oct. 16, 2026, at Dalice Hotels and Suites, Mabushi, Abuja.
The Co-ordinator of the Programme, Engr. Mohammed Ndako Umar, said participants were selected from different sectors, including public and private organisations, to strengthen their leadership and managerial capacities.
Engr. Umar said the Training was also designed to bridge the gap between the Government and the people through Effective Communication that would foster clear and untethered understanding through good relationships and effective engagement.
He urged participants to apply the tenets of the knowledge acquired during the Programme to improve their career and professional performance towards achieving excellence and contributing their to organisational development.
The lead Consultant/Resource person, Dr. Liman Mohammed Tijjani, also highlighted the importance of the Training. Dr. Tijjani stated that Training was different from education because the latter (education) was broad, while the former (training) was specific towards providing the right knowledge, required skills and the right attitude, simply called KSA. In this respect, he further stated that the Training was designed to re-equip the participants with the relevant skills for effective leadership and workplace management in their respective fields or offices.
The Special Guest, Mrs Beatrice Amoye, re-emphasised the importance of the Programme and urged the participants to put the lessons learned and knowledge gained into practice for better and higher performance.
Mrs Amoye stated that applying the skills acquired would help participants to improve their works in and achieve better results in their respective organisations.
Speaking on behalf of NCDMB, Mr. Tahir Aminu appreciated the facilitators and participants for their contributions to the programme.
Aminu encouraged the participants to make effective use of the knowledge and skills acquired to improve their performance and support institutional growth.
Some participants expressed appreciation to NCDMB for sponsoring the training, describing it as beneficial to their professional development.

The participants received laptops, cash stipends and certificates at the end of the training.
