The Global Transport (GTP) has assured the Lagos State Police Command of its readiness to continue with the strategic capacity building support and other necessary assistance it has given the police.
The Chairman/Chief Consultant of GTP, Dr Segun Musa, gave the assurance during a courtesy visit to the new Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Olanrewaju Ishola, at the command’s headquarters in Lagos.
He made this known in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
Musa said 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.
“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 programme of GTP.
“This programme was 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.
“We know that you always want the best trainings for your officers necessary to build a formidable force against crime and yield excellent results,” he said.
Responding, the commissioner appreciated Musa for the visit and assured the GTP boss 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 the time to do more.
“I am always open and willing to partner and collaborate with you in all of your programme to help the police perform better,” Ishola said.
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 that have benefited from the series include the Federal Road Safety Corps, the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps, the Lagos Traffic Management Authority, Vigilante Group Of Nigeria, the Nigeria Immigration Service, the Nigeria Labour Congress, and Trade Union Congress.
