Nsawam (E/R), July 3, GNA – The Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly has organized a four-day training workshop for its heads of departments to sharpen their skills on economic reform management, risk assessment, and the drafting of risk management policy.
Mr Jeremiah Agyekum Amoafo, the Municipal Coordinating Director who represented the Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Isaac Kwadjo Buabeng, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency said the training was part of efforts at addressing the financial management capacity gap of the Assembly.
