The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LSUBEB) recently held a workshop for variation officers to enhance their performance on the job and ensure accountability.

The programme was themed ‘Efficiency in Handling of Staff Salary Variation’.

Speaking at the maiden edition of the programme, the chairman of the board, Wahab Alawiye-King, urged the participants to pay attention “so that they will have the necessary skills to make their job easier and ensure that they are relevant in today’s world.”

He added, “The issue of the wellbeing of our staff is very imperative. If you walk in and your salary is not calculated appropriately, you will be discouraged. Part of the welfare package is to ensure that they are motivated.

As variation officers, they are in charge of making adjustments and identifying changes to be made.”

A permanent board member in charge of planning and research, Dr Akeem Shittu, said the programme was to keep the officers abreast of modern ways of doing their job.

Head of Revenue Unit SUBEB, Elizabeth Oladunni, applauded the state government for approving the workshop for the officers.

A participant from Mushin LGA, Oluwakemi Sulaiman, said the programme would enhance her work.

“Normally, we have people who have been promoted. So, it’s about teaching us how to put things right and implementing the salary accounts of those who have been promoted,” she said.
