The Controller-General of the Federal Fire Service, Olumode Adeyemi, has unveiled a Medical Intervention Scheme and enhanced welfare initiatives for firefighters, including an upgrade to an interest-free loan facility. These measures were implemented shortly after his appointment to prioritize the well-being of the workforce. In a bid to reduce the financial burden of healthcare on firefighters, Adeyemi established the Medical Intervention Scheme, which subsidizes medical expenses for personnel.
Additionally, the Service expanded its interest-free loan facility, raising the maximum amount from ₦300,000 to ₦500,000. Adeyemi's decision to forego a grand reception in his honor to invest the funds in improving firefighter welfare demonstrates his commitment to their welfare. He also noted that the Quarter Guard, unveiled during the inauguration, was constructed by officers voluntarily, showcasing their dedication.
The Controller-General's welfare reforms have significantly boosted morale within the Federal Fire Service, resulting in one of the most motivated workforces in Nigeria.
