The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission says it will conduct an induction course for its 120 newly recruited staff.

Chairman of the commission, Mr. Muhiyi Rimingado, disclosed this in Kano, on Monday.

Rimingado explained that the training which would be conducted by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) would focus on basic investigation and anti-corruption skills.

“Arrangement has almost been completed to conduct induction course for the 120 newly employed staff of the agency to be conducted by the ICPC,” he said.

He said the training was designed to prepare the minds of the newly recruited staff to discharge their duties effectively and respond positively to the demands of the duty as expected by the commission.

He said after the training, the newly employed staff would be deployed to the various offices of the commission across the 44 local government areas of the state.

“This is part of our resolve to decentralise the activities of the commission and ensure effective coverage of the state,” said Rimingado.

According to him, no fewer than 45 staff of the commission attended a course on investigation skills at the Kano State Police Command as part of effort to sharpen their skills.

He said the staff, who had completed the training, would support the commission in investigation of its various cases.

“The affected staff were trained on identifying key crime management areas, managing crime scenes and goals of improved investigations,’’ he said.

The chairman said other areas include developing effective communication skills, styles of questioning, witness interviewing, recording witness statements and suspects interview as well as court skills.

Rimingado expressed optimism that the training would ensure effective service delivery at the commission to improve staff confidence. (NAN)
