Sikiru Olusesi Azeez, probably miffed by those who supposedly are Local Councils trained information manager, Public Affairs , image manager and Chief Press Secretary turned political public relations rather than public relations who strive to balance both the government and public interests.
In Epe News Chat monitored by kosofe post Azeez wrote “I’m very sorry for disturbing everyone with this issue I will be raising here.
‘The issue is mainly centred on our politicians especially the Chairman at our Local Government or Local Council Development Areas level.
“I don’t have the right to call for a shift in the system but just to call the attention of your esteem offices into the operation challenge of the Chief Press Secretary at the LGs/LCDAs.
“At every LG/LCDA level there is a provision for Public Affairs or Public Relations Office who is a Professional in information management and someone who can really manage information by consulting his or her colleagues in proffering solutions to managing information”.
The CPS at the LGs/LCDAs are just political offices for politicians rather than professionals as obtained in States level
“The Chief executive at LGs/LCDAs need to take professional Journalists or Public Relations experts to manage their information if they don’t completely trust the government employed personnel”
‘The current CPSs need to brace up in the challenging of information management of their principals by learning the Art in its real sense.
The Chairmen should please make training of their workforce especially the CPSs a priority”
The CPSs should endeavour to learn the Art of the job they are scheduled to do from anyone, anywhere and anytime.Don’t feel to know all’.
