NEPAD CEO Charges Staff On Application

The National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer (NC/CEO) of the African Union Development Agency–New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) Nigeria, Hon. Jabiru Salisu Abdullahi, has charged staff of the agency to translate the lessons learnt from the 2026 General Staff Training into improved performance to achieve the agency’s mandate and the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The CEO, who was represented by the Head of Human Resources Department, Mrs. Evangeline Ofuekii, gave the charge in his remarks during the 2026 General Staff Training, with the theme, “Enhancing Workplace Effectiveness Through Effective Communication, Teamwork and Collaboration.”

In a statement issued by the Head of Media, Mrs. Iyabo Akinwale, Abdullahi noted that AUDA-NEPAD was a unique agency whose modus operandi, mandate and operations differed from those of the core Civil Service. He said its staff required adequate training to develop their capacity, sharpen their skills and transform their potential into tangible results for the benefit of the agency.

The CEO assured staff of his administration’s commitment to improving staff capacity and welfare and encouraged them to reciprocate the gesture by improving their output.

Staff who participated in the training appreciated the CEO and the management team for organising the programme, while pledging to improve their performance. They said the training had provided an opportunity to brainstorm on the importance of effective communication and the need for improved teamwork.
