Global Transport Policy (GTP), an international consulting firm that
initiated free training on Emotional Intelligence Skills for government institutions’ personnel that have high in-person contact with the populace has promised to continue this strategic skill transfer to men and officers of the Lagos State Police command.
The Chairman/Chief Consultant of GTP, Dr. Segun Musa, made the promise on Wednesday when he paid a courtesy visit to the new Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Olanrewaju Ishola at the Command’s headquarters in Lagos.
The GTP boss noted that the visit was in furtherance of the strategic partnership between his company and the Lagos State Police Command and to welcome the new commissioner to the Centre of Excellence.
Dr. Musa, who is also the Chairman/CEO, Widescope Logistics Limited, assured the commissioner of his organization’s readiness to continue with the strategic capacity building support it has given the Lagos State Police Command and other necessary assistance in the past.
In his words: “It will be recalled that Area Traffic Officers serving in the Lagos State Police Command were the first set of paramilitary personnel that were trained on Emotional Intelligence Skills in the free training programs GTP has initiated for government institutions personnel that have high in-person contact with the populace.
“Under your able leadership, we wish to continue this strategic skill transfer to men and officers of your command and we know that you always want the best trainings for your officers necessary to build a formidable force against crime and yield excellent results.”
In his response, CP Ishola welcomed Dr. Musa generously, assuring that with his open door policy, he would encourage him to do more for the Police.
“I sincerely thank you for the support you have given to the Police in Lagos State in the past, and now is time to do. I am always open and willing to partner and collaborate with you in all of your programs to help the Police perform better,” CP Ishola said.
Recall that GTP had in recent past taken Area Traffic Officers through an intensive Train-the-Trainer masterclass after which they in turn trained the Divisional Traffic Officers and Traffic Officers across the Divisional Police headquarters in the Lagos State Command.
Other agencies of government which include Federal Road Safety Corps, Nigeria Security & Civil Defense Corps, Lagos Traffic Management Authority, Vigilante Group Of Nigeria, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Labour Congress, and Trade Union Congress have also benefited from the training.
Speaking on the free training intervention, Dr Musa disclosed that Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Army, Nigeria Navy, Nigeria Air Force, FAAN, NCAA, NSIB, are among other organizations already lined up for it.
