Comrade Audu Ogwunenwa.
Director- General of Industrial Training Fund Sir Joe Ari has expressed the determination of his management to stamp out acts of Indicipline, Insurbodination and Absenteeism and other related issues from Industrial Training Fund.
Ari gave this charge on Wednesday at ITF Headquarters Jos during his address at the 2020 Annual performance Review meeting.
According to him,” incidents of absenteeism, insurbodination and similar misconducts should not be treated with levity.”
He reminded the staffs of ITF to be 100 percent loyal to the ITF inview of the fact that whatever false information that they circulate about the organization will have adverse effect on its very Existence.
” Where it is discovered that any member of the workforce is engaged in activities inimical to it’s progress and development, appreciate sanctions would be applied in all cases.”
He also warned officers not to collude with some employers of labour to defraud ITF, stressing that as leaders at various levels, they have responsibility to act decisively where such cases are brought to their notice.
” I must stress here that if management discovers such in any Area office, and it is known that responsible officers fails to take appropriate steps, it would be concluded that they were complicit ln the act and will face similar sanctions as the actors”
Ari charged his management and staff to remember that as leaders,they have a duty of care and responsibility to protect ITF and work towards achieving it’s Corporate goals, cautioning that anything short of this, will not be considered good enough.
