TEXEM UK trains Nigerian quasi-judicial officers on negotiation, others

TEXEM UK, a leading executive education provider, has trained Nigerian quasi-judiciary leaders on the necessary skills to navigate and succeed in challenging and unpredictable times.

The programme, which took place recently in the United Kingdom, was designed to equip quasi-judiciary leadership with the ‘Strategic Leadership for Success in an Unknown Tomorrow’.

Speaking on the training, Professor of Public Policy and Management at King’s Business School and Fellow of the University of Oxford, Prof. Ian Kessler said: “We examined approaches to negotiation as a route to influence and success. This included exploring bargaining environments, strategies, and tactics to develop the quasi-judiciary leaders’ negotiation skills.

“The session encouraged reflection on the nature and pursuit of negotiation in the tribunal context.”

Sir James Duddridge KCMG, Member of Parliament, former UK minister who has worked with three UK prime ministers, said: “It was enjoyable to speak to Nigerian judges about the challenges faced in business, politics and diplomacy. Coming together in London provided space for reflection and independent thinking.

“Under the leadership of Prof. Alim Abubakre, TEXEM has developed a formula and a team that is well placed to offer flexible, professional coaching drawing on a wide and eclectic panel of quality faculty.”

One of the participants, Prof. Kabiru Isa Dandago Bayero, Hon. Commissioner Tax Appeal Tribunal, said: “TEXEM is a very serious consultancy organisation. I’m rating them as such because of the calibre of resources that have been mobilised to interact with us to discuss all the issues that are needed in building our leadership capacity further, in ensuring that the Tax Appeal Tribunal becomes the best adjudicator of taxes in Africa and even globally.”
