Mr Udeze also explained that the training would enthrone transparency and accountability, reduce expenses, discourage corruption and save money for the government.
He noted that although the council’s leadership had kept its records straight, which encouraged transparency in public accounting system, but training of its staff was needed for them to performance better in key areas.
Mr Udeze further mentioned that training and retraining of officers would discourage waste of funds and advised government to see it as an urgent need of the council.
