In another strategic move to spread its human capacity building tentacles across some critical organisations in the Federation, the Nigerian Institute of Management (Chartered) is in talks with the Nigerian Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
This move was made when the hierarchy of the Institute led by the President and Chairman of Council, Dr. (Mrs.) Christiana Atako, paid a courtesy visit to the Director General/Chief Executive Officer, NEMA, Alhaji Mustapha Habib Ahmed, and his Management team in Abuja.
Apart from commending the Director General and his team for the visible turnaround presently taking place at the Agency, Dr. Atako described the Institute as the repository of capacity building which has the pedigree to train, equip and deepen the competencies of managers across public and private sectors of the nation’s economy over the years. Among other requests, the President enjoined the DG and his top Management team to join the Institute’s membership through the Intensive Training for Membership Admission (ITMA) programme; enlist NEMA as a corporate member of the Institute which will entitle them to discounted training rates for staff in addition to other benefits accruable to corporate members; collaborate with the Institute in the area of capacity building of their personnel using tailor-made training programmes and in-plants especially on ‘Work Ethics and Attitudinal Change’ as well as sponsor staff members to the 2024 Annual National Management Conference of the Institute holding in Port Harcourt from 22nd – 24th September.
The Director General of NEMA, Alhaji Ahmed, who stated that training is germane to developing the human resource of every organization for continuous evolvement and development expressed his willingness to partner with the Institute to continue to build the capacity of staff. He further assured the Institute instead of overseas training, the Agency would consider engaging the Institute to help meet the its human capacity development needs. He, therefore, assured that he would study the Institute’s proposals promising to accede to the requests made as they are not too difficult to grant.
