Academy sources disclosed that the Rector, Comm. Emmanuel Duja Effedua, had expressed commitment in bringing out the best from all the academy’s employees by deploying them to places and positions where they will add more value for the good and growth of the academy.
The source added that the postings are aimed at strengthening the workforce at the level of Liaison offices where senior officers of higher cadres now take charge in interfacing with other agencies of government and private sector stakeholders who from time to time may need to send their staff members on courses to the academy.
