The FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), on Tuesday, unveiled a plan to boost the capacity of its staff through the e-learning programme.
The Director-General of FEMA, Alhaji Abbas Idriss, disclosed the promise when he received students of the School of Politics, Policy and Governance led by the Group Coordinator, Mr. Mfoniso Umoh in his office in Abuja. He promised to sustain the e-learning platform proposed by the school.
A statement from the Head, Public Affairs of the Agency, Nkechi Isa, stated that the proposed e-learning platform is a post-graduate initiative and academic institution aimed at building individuals that would revolutionize the political landscape of Nigeria.
“Risk management and Risk analysis culture must be built into the training modules in order to address the wide gap the sector is suffering.
“The Staff must understand our mandate first to be able to fits into the system of Emergency Management and Emergency Response.
“Every staff should be able to explain to a layman what we are doing”, Alhaji Idriss said.
“The FEMA boss thanked the School for choosing FEMA for the pilot scheme of the programme assuring on his commitment to work assiduously to sustain it,” the statement reads.
Speaking earlier, Mr Mfoniso Umoh, explained that the programme was part of a community impact project designed to reposition the 1,481 MDAs in the country.
According to him, “the initiative is an e-learning platform not only to enable FEMA staff access learning on the go but also to reduce the high cost of training, boost productivity and capacity building.”
