THE Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in collaboration with the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday began a one-week security awareness and sensitisation workshop for its officers from across the federation.
Declaring open the event in Jos, Mr Joseph Ari, the Director-General of the fund, said the workshop was coming up at a time security challenges bedevilling the nation were becoming a daily occurrence.
Ari said the fund placed premium on the security of its staff, adding that the workshop aimed to enlighten the staff on the new trends and methods of mitigating security challenges and ensuring safety.

According to the director- general, the workshop will complement the efforts of the management in ensuring safety and security of its human and material resources in the various offices.
He expressed optimism that the lessons learnt would be utilised by the officers in adjusting their attitudes toward personal security.
Ari enjoined the participants to pay rapt attention to the instructions and hold dearly the advice given for their benefit and for the achievement of the organisation’s objectives.

He also called on the participants to pay attention to the various lectures and utilise what they would learn at the workshop for their good and that of the nation.
