The Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office (MCO), has announced the successful induction of 111 new employees.
The staff completed a rigorous one-day induction programme held in Abuja, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion, a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Henry David said.
The MC Office is charged with the responsibility for the administration and management of mineral titles in Nigeria with the vision to provide an independent, efficient and transparent Mining Cadastre System, which grants and administers Mining Licences and Permits in line with the best practices.
The intensive induction programme was designed to integrate new talent skillfully into MCO’s dynamic work culture.
Inductees participated in specialised training modules covering Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office, Public Service Rules and Financial Regulations.
Director General of the MCO Engr Simon Obadiah said the induction programme and administration of oath of secrecy was “to enlighten inductees in public service rules and all aspects of governance,” adding that “without induction the civil service and public service cannot be better and governance will be very difficult.”
While advising the inductees, Obadiah said “you have to adhere strictly to the rules, especially make a name for yourself. What do you want your bosses and colleagues to know you for?,” he asked. “You start to make a name from the day you are employed in the civil service, building your name is very important.”
The guest speaker, who is the Director of Human Resources at the Ministry of Solid Mineral Development Mrs. Ijeoma Idika said “induction is one of the necessary programmes that public service presents to the newly recruited officers and it is a way of letting them know their environment , a way of teaching them what is obtainable at office they have been recruited into and a way of making them know their management and know the mandates of their office.”
Director Monitoring and Coordination at MCO, Yakubu Muri in his remarks commending the leadership of the Director General.
He said “we have a very good leader who is ready to give all the necessary support you need. The door is opened; please put in your best come with open heart whatever you do will be recognised.”
The Director Administration in MCO, Okechukwu Nwagbara earlier in his welcome address said “There were a total number of 100 staff that were employed under the current Director General. I don’t think that any Director General will be able to beat his record.
“I want to encourage the newly-employed staff that you are now in the public sector. The civil service has rules of regulation that guide the operations of workers.”
