Glocient Hospitality Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to the safety of patrons, visitors, stakeholders, and staff through its periodic firefighting training for workers across the Culinary, Food and Beverages, Security, and Maintenance departments at the Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort.
The initiative continues to play a vital role in strengthening safety awareness among staff while placing a premium on the protection of all business assets, particularly the wellbeing of guests.
On April 20, 2026, officials from the Ekiti State Fire Service, including Chief Fire Superintendent Mrs. Florence Ayeni and Mr. Ademola, led by Principal Fire Superintendent Mr. Sunday Adeleye (ACFS), visited the resort to conduct a practical training exercise. A total of 32 participants took part in the session.
Addressing attendees, Mr. Adeleye noted: “Fire is bi-functional in nature. It plays dual roles; positive and negative. The positive comes when fire is under your control and you are abiding by its rules and regulations. It is then used for activities such as cooking or bathing. However, when these rules are ignored due to carelessness, ignorance, or overconfidence, fire reveals its destructive nature.”
Participants were equipped with essential fire prevention skills, safety awareness, and control measures designed to help them prevent, identify, and respond effectively to fire incidents in the workplace.
The training also enhanced staff understanding of fire risks, including recognizing common causes such as electrical faults, gas leaks, and human error. It emphasized the importance of detecting potential hazards early, preventing fire outbreaks, and promoting safe practices such as proper housekeeping, safe cooking, and electrical safety. Staff were further guided on emergency response procedures, including raising alarms, evacuation protocols, and contacting emergency services.
Additionally, participants received hands-on training on the safe use of fire and other safety equipment where necessary.
The management of Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort reiterated that while the organisation remains focused on delivering exceptional hospitality services, it places the highest priority on the safety and wellbeing of its staff, partners, and guests.
