FOREWORD
The Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) was
established through Decree No. 39 of 1973 (now ASCON Act. Cap. 6
Vol. LFN 1990) with a tripod like mandate to provide Training,
Research and Consultancy services to organizations in all sectors of
the Nigerian economy. In keeping with its mandate, ASCON has been
assisting organizations to realize their objectives through effective
human capital development. ASCON has done this for (50) fifty years,
as it celebrates its golden jubilee anniversary and will continue to do
so because this is the raison d’etre for the establishment of the
College.
3. From a humble beginning in 1973, the College has become an Institution of repute not only in Nigeria and
the West African Sub-Region but in the entire African Continent. The journey which started in 1973 has seen
the College undergoing systemic reforms and rebranding in order to maintain its market niche through
continuous re-alignment of departments, review of its programmes and courses, and building of strategic
partnerships and collaborations within and outside the shores of Nigeria.
4. Organizational survival and continuous growth is predicated on the capacity to consistently bring
appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) to bear in the performance of daily tasks, proactively
strategize and utilize environmental opportunities while minimizing the risks thrown up by a highly
challenging environment. ASCON, recognizes that learning and development must meet the needs of
organizations driving development initiatives in all sectors of the economy, giving due regard to the organic
relationship between government development initiatives and the competences of managers of these initiatives
for the achievement of expected results.
5. This year’s Brochure of Courses is a product of extensive review in the light of ours and our clients’
understanding of the KSA needed to build an Efficient, Professional, Incorruptible and Citizen-centered
(EPIC) Civil Service as envisioned by government. In addition, to the offerings provided in this Brochure,
ASCON, is ready to work with individual organizations or governments within and outside the country in the
areas of organizational Development, Training in Leadership Development, Management, Administrative
Procedures, Project Management, Procurement Practices, Information and Communication Technology,
Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management, Train of Trainers, among others, to enhance the
performance and increase the productivity of these entities.
6. Aside from the training programmes indicated in the 2024 Brochure of Courses, the College would honour
requests from clients for the design and conduct of Tailor-Made/Customized or Client-Driven programmes
that are fit for purpose on and off site. May I also add that ASCON boasts of extensive experience in applied
Research and Management Consulting that is geared towards finding solutions to organization’s managerial,
structural or operational problems, and would bring this rich experience to bear on any consulting assignment
our clients may require us to undertake on their behalves. The interests and needs of our clients remain our
top priority.

7. In addition to our regular training programmes, ASCON has been involved in the conduct of the Public
Service Examinations (PSE) for its various clients throughout the country. ASCON has also administered
examinations for many clients in their quest for the recruitment of quality staff, as well as promotion tests.
The success of these exercises validates ASCON as a reliable Partner for Human and Institutional Capacity
Development.
8. Our vision for another (50) fifty years and beyond is to sustain and continue to improve on our service
delivery capabilities to serve the needs of our various clients, through continuous institutional and human
capital development with an eye towards being aware of the needs and challenges of our operating
environment. It must be noted that the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF) has taken the
initiative to launch a new Federal Civil Service Strategic and Implementation Plan 2021-2025 (FCSSIP25)
aimed at creating ‘a World class Public Service’ that is Efficient, Professional, Incorruptible and Citizen-
centred (EPIC). In response to this laudable initiative of the HOCSF, ASCON has also taken the initiative to
review its training programmes which are presented in the 2024 Brochure of Courses to tally with the
aspiration of this new initiative and will continue to do so as the
operating environment dictates. In addition, as part of its re-
strategizing efforts, the College is conducting a competency
capacity assessment of its Faculty to ensure that it is in tune with
the new realities of the workplace.
10. Finally, I wish to reiterate that challenging times requires increased creativity and innovative thinking
towards getting things done and achieving the desired results. To this end, ASCON offers both public and
private sector organizations the opportunity to build both human and organizational capabilities, rebrand and
realign their processes for growth and development. We therefore look forward to a mutually beneficial
relationship with our esteemed clients in the year 2024 and beyond, and implore both current and potential
clients to take full advantage of the training programmes of ASCON - as well as consultancies offered in the
2024 brochure of courses to help improve the competencies of the existing cream of technocrats whose roles
are critical to the achievement of government development agenda..
Thank you.
