Also, while delivering the lecture on “Tapping the Hidden Treasures of the LCDA”, Dr Badejo advised that old ways of doing things should give way to the new ways. Innovations and trendy ideas should be incorporated in order to remain productive in the present dispensation, such as e-billing, training and retraining, skills acquisition, updates etc.
