“A well co-ordinated, organised and executed programme.  The time spent is worth the while.  Well done to GMSI and ASCON!”

“By participating in the IOE 2019, the Commission sought to strengthen its existing partnerships and establish new links with other players in the administration of justice for enhanced implementation of its mandate… which we achieved through the catalogue of resource materials collected, face-to-face interactions and thematic discussions on ombudsman operations. Further, we benefitted from peer feedback and information sharing…”

“Training met expectations, facilitators very informative and engaging.  They also encouraged issues and solutions to be discussed.”

“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…”

“The programme was timely and very beneficial.  It will go a long way in helping me to improve on my work process. Thank you.”

“The training was an eye opener on the small things that are not noticeable which could have an impact on the organisation.”

“Thank you very much GMSI. Programme worth recommending for more participation by Nigerians.”

“The training and knowledge acquired were very vital and I hope these are extended to the entire institution and sister bodies in the public sector as everyone is an ombudsman at some point, and this can be a preventative approach to many problems especially maladministration.”

“Training was extremely beneficial and should be replicated to other relevant ombudsman staff.”

“True to our expectation, the Expo was enriching. We interacted with sister organisations in and outside Africa.  The main exhibition was unique in the opportunity it afforded us to see first-hand and appreciate how others execute the ombudsman and mediation function.  We were able to benchmark with sister institutions and also exposed to take steps to improving our own operations.”
