Transparency, accountability, probity and zero tolerance to corruption have been referred to as the hallmark of the success of any organization.
This was stated by the former Chairman Local Government Service Commission Chief Tunji Abolade while declaring open a 3-day workshop titled “Financial Management Service” held today at Local Government Service Commission, Multi-purpose Hall.
Chief Tunji Abolade explained that, the workshop is organized to equip accountants and auditors in the Local Government Service with necessary skills that would make them prudent and judicious financial managers.
According to him, a responsible and responsive government must tackle the issue of finance management in a bid to channel the revenue generated towards the programmes that will be of benefit to the people.
