Drawing from his extensive experience as a government spokesperson for over a decade, serving under Governors Mamman B. Ali, Ibrahim Gaidam, and Mai Mala Buni, Bego shared practical insights into the challenges and best practices of public information management.
“Focal Persons, by the nature of their roles, are custodians of public information. Regardless of the sector or agency they are assigned to, their ability to effectively manage information flow, especially in the digital era, can significantly influence public trust and service outcomes,” Bego stated.
He advised participants to use of social media with upmost responsibility even as he urged them to exercise discretion and professionalism in their engagements.
He said their actions in the digital space should align with the values of transparency, accountability, and service excellence that Governor Buni’s administration embodies.
The workshop, themed “Towards Qualitative and Impactful Service Delivery for Sustainable Development,” was a platform for participants to acquire essential skills and resources, with each Focal Person receiving laptops and other training materials.
The forum drew a comprehensive framework for implementing and monitoring service delivery tailored to the needs of Yobe State.
Governor Buni was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Baba Malam Wali who presided at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the workshop.
The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to providing the necessary support and resources for effective governance and sustainable development across the state.
Hon. Bego expressed optimism that the knowledge gained from the workshop and the support provided by the state government would empower the Focal Persons to deliver tangible benefits to the people of Yobe State.
