Speaking shortly before commencing his presentation, Mr. Geegbae said the CSA is committed to improving the skills of government employees and institutions at all times to enhance their performance. He called on the participants to be open and bold in raising issues that they might not understand, concerning the training.

Speaking earlier, the Deputy Minister for Administration at the Commerce Ministry, Mr. Wilfred N. Bangura, said Management saw the need to engage the Civil Service Agency on the training, considering its relevance to   appropriate planning and performance amongst those who provide supervision in the various divisions of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
