The Nigerian Federal Fire Service has introduced a mandatory Fire Warden Training and Certification Programme for organizations that regularly accommodate 50 or more people per day. This initiative, launched in collaboration with Pilgrims Integrated Management Consult Ltd., aims to improve fire safety and emergency preparedness by ensuring all such organizations have trained in-house fire wardens.

The program’s first phase of training is set to begin on August 31, 2026, starting in Lagos.
