In a first-of-its-kind initiative in the annals of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), all 3,780 staff members have embarked on capacity building across all departments and units of the Commission in line with the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on staff capacity building across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
It is on record that since the inception of NIMC, staff training and capacity building have been at their lowest ebb. However, the arrival of Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, as the DG/CEO of NIMC, has changed the trajectory of events.
Across the country, in states and local government areas, all NIMC staff, irrespective of cadre, have undergone or are still undergoing capacity building to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu’s administration. Staff nationwide, elated at this new era of enhanced capacity building, could not hide their joy as they sincerely appreciated Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote for her sterling, transformational, and visionary leadership.
Since assuming office, Engr. Coker-Odusote has not only transformed NIMC but has also initiated several welfare initiatives that have boosted staff morale. These include the distribution of over 2,500 enrollment devices to aid data capturing, securing Federal Government approval and implementation for a 25%–35% salary increment for staff of the Commission, payment of extra transport allowance and providing free buses to cushion transport challenges for staff in the Headquarters, among many other staff welfare-oriented initiatives.
Staff from the States and local government offices deeply appreciated Engr. (Dr.) Abisoye Coker-Odusote, for driving inclusive staff capacity building, promoting staff welfare, providing work tools and resources, providing modern furniture, boosting staff morale with unprecedented welfare packages, and building a workforce that delivers on the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
