The BRACED Commission, in partnership with the Edo State Government, hosted a pivotal strategy retreat for all heads of service of the BRACED states at the John Odigie-Oyegun Public Service Academy, which held from July 3 to 5, 2024. The strategy retreat, themed, ‘Leadership in the Public Sector: Strengthening Public Institutions,’ brought together heads of service from all South-South states.
