Abia LGSC, Mind Power Consults Train Workers on Retirement Investment and Planning
The Abia State Local Government Service Commission (LGSC), in collaboration with Mind Power Consults, has organized a two-day workshop themed “Retirement Investment and Planning Mentality” to equip workers with practical knowledge on preparing for life after service.
Declaring the workshop open, the Chairman of LGSC, Elder James Nwokochah, represented by Commissioner 1 in charge of Training, Barr. Jerry Uzosike, urged participants to adopt a deliberate retirement mindset. He advised workers to invest meaningfully, cut down on unnecessary expenses, and embrace financial prudence to ensure a joyful and stress-free retirement.
In her remarks, the Permanent Secretary of the Commission, Princess Dr. Ezinne Judith Ngwakwe, described the workshop as a timely intervention to reawaken civil servants to the importance of pre-retirement planning. She encouraged participants to take advantage of available opportunities, noting that retirement can be fulfilling when one has something to fall back on. She further pledged the Commission’s commitment to continuous training and retraining of workers in line with Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s “New Abia Agenda.”
The Chief Consultant of Mind Power Consults, Dr. Obinna Nwogwugwu, alongside other resource persons including Dr. Mayowa Ogundala, Dr. Ndubuisi Orji, and Dr. George, delivered impactful sessions focused on helping participants cultivate a proactive retirement culture.
Participants described the workshop as eye-opening, noting that the knowledge gained would enable them to plan for a fruitful and rewarding retirement.
The training featured top officials such as the HPM of LGSC, Mr. Sam Madubuike; DA/HOD Training, Mr. Charles Oledingwa; Treasurers; Internal Auditors; HODs from the 17 local government areas; and other staff of the Commission.
