The Controller General (CG) of the Federal Fire Service (FFS), Engr. Jaji Abdulganiyu, has officially flagged off the Chief Superintendent Development Course.

The FFS in a statement said the training which was flagged off on Thursday, 30 January 2025, is a pivotal six-week training program aimed at enhancing the leadership, operational efficiency, and crisis management skills of senior fire officers.

The intensive course, he said, is designed to equip officers with cutting-edge firefighting strategies in courses such as: Administrative Processes and Procedures, Plan Examination, Fire Officer/Inspector/Instructor II, and Fire Investigation and Incidence Command Systems in line with best practices.

“This initiative underscores the Federal Fire Service’s unwavering commitment to professional excellence and capacity building within its ranks”, the Service said.

Speaking at the ceremony, the CG emphasized the significance of continuous training in strengthening the nation’s fire safety framework.

He recalled that he had, during his first briefing this year, pledged that the Federal Fire Service would turn a historic page, “and today, this training is a testament to that promise”.

During the course of the training, participants will engage in a series of lectures, hands-on simulations, and strategic planning exercises facilitated by seasoned professionals in fire service management and emergency response.

According to the Service, the
training is the first of its kind since the approval of the New Federal Fire Service Training Curriculum by the Civil Defence Correctional Fire & Immigration Board (CDCFIB) five months ago.

“As Nigeria continues to face evolving fire safety challenges, the Chief Superintendent Development Course represents a bold step toward ensuring a well-trained, proactive, and highly skilled fire service workforce”, the statement said.
