FMSTI Cooperative Society trains members in skills, health management, others-President
The Federal Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (FMSTI) Cooperative Society has trained its members in various skills and capacity-building programmes to ensure self-sustainability after retirement.
Mrs Ronnel Dola, President of the society, disclosed this during the society’s 25th Anniversary and Gala Night held on Friday in Abuja.
Dola, who attributed the cooperative’s success to divine guidance, highlighted several achievements recorded during her tenure.
“The cooperative has grown significantly in membership and strength since I joined in 2003 and we have become like a family.”
According to her, the society has conducted capacity-building programmes, provided medical support for members battling ailments like cancer and hypertension, and trained cooperators in poultry farming and entrepreneurship to prepare them for life after active service.
She assured members that retirement held no fears for them, as the cooperative ensures that retirees received their full savings promptly after service.
“We ensure that our members receive their total servings one month after retirement. During my tenure, 120 members have retired, and to the glory of God, all have received their benefits.”
As her tenure ended, Dola prayed for continued progress for the incoming executive members.
In his remarks, former president Alhaji Salihu Abdul-Raheem, represented by Mrs Hauwa Owodunni, expressed satisfaction with the cooperative’s uninterrupted 25 years of existence.
“It is inspiring to note that the society has recorded remarkable milestones over the years.”
He said that the cooperative’s membership grew from 272 in 2023 to 1,389 in 2024, attributing this expansion to the commitment of its members.
Similarly, Mr Fagboore Anthony, a Deputy Director in the ministry and cooperative member, described his membership as a rewarding experience.
He encouraged FMSTI staff and other civil servants to join cooperative societies, emphasizing the numerous benefits.
” Being a member has been one of my best decisions. I advise civil servants to join a cooperative in their workplace for financial security and growth”.
The event featured the launch of the cooperative’s magazine, as well as the presentation of awards to past presidents and outstanding members.
