Plans Underway To Integrate Fire Safety Education In School Curriculum – FFS

The Federal Fire Service says plans are underway to integrate Fire safety and rescue education into the school curriculum to raise a new generation of safety- conscious Nigerians.

The Controller General Federal Fire Service, Olumode Samuel Adeyemi made this known when he paid a working visit to the Federal Fire Service Command in Kubwa and the Wuse Command, Abuja, alongside his Management Team.

He emphasized that firemen remain at the heart of the Service’s mandate of saving lives and property, and reaffirmed that their welfare is his topmost priority.

During an interactive session, the CGF disclosed that comprehensive insurance coverage will be made available for all firemen, while awards and recognitions will be introduced to encourage excellence and outstanding performance.

He further assured that a conducive working environment would be provided, and loans would be made accessible to help officers meet pressing needs.

The CGF also cautioned officers to shun job racketeering and uphold discipline at all levels, warning that any staff found culpable would face stringent disciplinary action.

The visit gave the CGF the opportunity to interact directly with officers and men, assess their working environment, and inspect facilities with the aim of identifying gaps and strengthening operational capacity.
