According to her, their appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari was due to their individual contributions to the development of the country.

The Head of Service said ASCON was established as a principal organ for sustainable capacity building in both the public and private sectors of the Nigerian economy, and that in meeting the objectives on a constant and sustainable basis requires a committed Governing Board and management.

“Your appointment by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, is a clear testimony of the remarkable contributions you have been making, individually and collectively to the development of our great country,” she said.

“Your role as Board members of ASCON is therefore to provide the much needed direction in supporting the vision of this Administration for institutional and human capacity development among others through effective training and re-training of public servants.”

Oyo-Ita further charged the members to seek alternative source of funding for its operations.

She said dwindling resources over the years have impacted negatively on the activities of the institution.

“Aggressive efforts should therefore be made by the board and management of the institution to explore other areas apart from government to fund its operations,” the HoS added.
