LASCOHET Organises In-House Training To Enhance Staff Etiquette Professionalism

The Lagos State College of Health Technology (LASCOHET) has organised a one-day in-house training for its academic and non-academic staff, aimed at improving workplace standards and strengthening institutional professionalism. The interactive workshop, themed “Etiquette: A Drive Towards Standardisation of Norms and Professionalism,” marked a major step toward reinforcing the College’s commitment to excellence in service delivery.

Welcoming participants, the Provost of LASCOHET, Professor Raheem Olasupo Akewushola, expressed delight at the impressive turnout, describing the event as the first of its kind in the institution. He noted that the enthusiasm shown by staff members has encouraged management to sustain similar capacity-building initiatives in the future, as they contribute significantly to overall institutional growth.

Professor Akewushola urged staff to apply the lessons learned from the training to improve their professional conduct and lifestyle. He emphasised that as a renowned health institution, LASCOHET can only uphold its reputation through strict adherence to proper etiquette and ethical behaviour. The Provost further highlighted that the College, as Nigeria’s pioneer institution in health technology education, must continue to take its rightful place in the nation’s social and academic landscape.

During his lecture, “Application of Professional Ethics within an Academic Community,” Professor Olufemi Jacob Fatile underscored the importance of ethical conduct among staff of higher institutions. He emphasised values such as honesty, responsibility, integrity, fairness, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, stressing that these principles remain fundamental to sustaining a healthy academic environment.

the Managing Director of Nisrel Consulting, Mr. Ope Amusan, focused on essential behavioural traits for personal and professional development. He introduced participants to the “7 Rules of Life”—Let it go, Ignore them, Give it time, Do not compare, Stay calm, It’s on you, and Smile—describing them as practical guiding principles for cultivating harmony and positive relationships in the workplace. The workshop reaffirmed LASCOHET’s dedication to continuous staff development and its mission to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and service.
