UI Registry organises workshops on fire prevention

All staff of the University of Ibadan Registry are to participate in workshops on Fire Prevention, Drill, and Usage of Fire Extinguishers.

To this end, the staff have been divided into batches, and the workshops would last for 8 days.

At the start of the workshops, the Registrar, Mr. Ganiyu O. 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 noted that no one would pray for fire outbreaks, but all staff must be put on the alert in case the unexpected happens.

He said the workshops were not limited to the Registry staff, as some key officers had had their own training last year, and all staff of the University would eventually be involved.

Mr 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 given to the participants.
