The University of Ibadan Registry has organised workshops on fire prevention, drill, and usage of fire extinguishers for all members of staff, who have been divided into batches.
At the start of the workshop, which will last for eight days, the Registrar, Mr Ganiyu Saliu explained that the workshops were organised to remind the staff of those things that could cause fire, how to prevent fire outbreaks, and what to do in case fire outbreaks occur.
He said that “although no one would pray for fire outbreaks, but all staff must be put on the alert in case the unexpected happens, saying the workshops were not limited to the Registry staff, as some key officers already had their own training last year, and all staff of the university would eventually be involved.”
Saliu urged participants to cooperate with the facilitators and justify the efforts of the Registry and the University by learning as much as they could.
Apart from the lectures, practical demonstrations of fire control were also given to the participants at the event.
