The Vice President, Marketing & Membership Drive of the
Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC), Mr. Chidy
Martins, FICMC, led a delegation from the Institute on a courtesy
visit to the Chief of Navy Staff on the 26th of March, 2019.
He was accompanied by Mr. Lloyd Duru; Vice President, Exams
& Records and Ms. Chisom Udennaka; Marketing Officer.
Mr. Chidy Martins gave an excellent presentation detailing the
effectiveness of Mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism and
how Mediation will be of great benefit to the staff of the Nigerian
Navy in terms of preserving workplace relationships, as well as
relationships with the populace.
The Vice President, Marketing & Membership Drive expressed
the willingness of ICMC to conduct Mediation Skills Accreditation
and Certification Trainings for staff of the Navy, subsequently
induct successful participants into the Institute as Associate
Members, Members and Fellows, and conduct a thorough needs analysis
with a view to setting up a Dispute Resolution Centre within the
Nigerian Navy.
The delegation was well received by the Deputy Director,
Standards, who thanked the Institute for the visit and enlightening
presentation on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). He agreed
that Mediation skills will indeed improve interpersonal
communication among staff of the Navy as well as communication
between the Nigerian Navy and civilians.
Both parties agreed to engage in further discussions and look
forward to a long-lasting relationship in peacebuilding and
conflict resolution.
