What participants say about our programmes
Enhancing Performance – Building Capacity for Public Sector Transformation
“My expectations were more of theoretical approach to performance enhancing and some tedious written assignments. But, on the contrary, the programme was entirely relaxing, refreshing and the practical approach made the programme easy to assimilate.”
MRS. SUSAN OLUDIYA
Advancing the Ombudsman’s Impact – Roles, Services, Performance
“I am grateful that I came. On day one, it was a bit unsettling as the facilitator was very brutal in getting us on board. By day two, I was now on board and could see where we were going. I’m grateful that I came to this training.”
MS MATSHIDISO D BOKOLE
Enhancing Effectiveness – Improving Leadership and Governance
“Overall the programme could be summarised in one word, professional.”
MR EDWARD HAUANGA
First International Ombud Expo, Abuja, Nigeria, October 2019
“The IOE was a resounding success… Given the positive outcomes of the Expo, we would definitely appreciate the opportunity to participate in future events…. It has the potential to really strengthen and grow the Ombud institution. My key highlight therefrom was the exhibition hall which showcased a number of Ombud bodies around the world… and the Special Event on Women Leaders was indeed a special moment…. we wish to thank Prof. Ayeni and the GMSI team for its organisation and coming up with this great initiative…”

When Managers Deliver – Making Government Effective
“My expectations include improving my managerial competencies, acquiring new skills, and these were well met in the training. The interactive sessions, the participatory nature of facilitation, involving everyone and the sharing of personal experiences were quite exciting to me. … (GMSI) did a wonderful job. Keep it up and take on more challenges in governance matters in Nigeria. Please work more on our mindset and value system.”
MRS MABEL OZUMBA
First International Ombud Expo, Abuja, Nigeria, October 2019
“For the first time, the world saw different Ombud types and their operations gathered under one roof… (And) the women in this sector have been given the rightful place in the history of the Ombud institution… I have to appreciate Prof. Victor Ayeni of the GSMI who brought this vision and proposed that the Chief Ombudsman of Nigeria should be the host of the first ever International Ombud Expo. Prof Ayeni, I later discovered had shown keen interest in the development of the Nigerian Ombudsman institution for many years just as he has to the Ombud institution globally.”
