He noted that the problem of the country has not been lack of development Plans, but that of a failure of implementation, adding that the training was aimed at enhancing the capacity of Core officers in the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) on the critical elements for effective implementation of the Plan
Mr Odewale pointed out that, the training will also equip the officers with relevant technical skills in project/programmes execution for enhanced service delivery in the country.
