The Risk Management awareness seminar
titled ‘Building a culture of risk management in IITA’, aimed at sensitizing
IITA Headquarters staff and stakeholders on the importance and priority placed
on risk management, took place on Thursday, 31st October, 2013.
Organized by the Risk Management Committee (RMC) the
seminar which was highly educative and inspiring was presented by the duo of
Mrs. Sylvia Oyinlola and Mr.Kayode Awobajo closely supported by other committee
members to showcase the effort and commitment of the RMC. The seminar was attended by the
DDG-Corporate Services, Kwame Akuffo-Akoto, to demonstrate the commitment of
Management towards ensuring that risk management becomes an integral part to be
considered in our daily research activities in all IITA locations.

The seminar which was well attended by the target
audience had two separate sessions.
The core of the messages from the seminar was that the task of
identifying, documenting and providing mitigation plans for the risks
associated with our research activities and operations is the business of all
of us in the Institute.
The questions and answers which followed the
interactive sessions brought out a number of salient issues.
Members of staff were
encouraged to take the opportunity and make constructive contributions, bring
up concerns and get involved in their respective units in order to build the
risk management culture in IITA
