The initiative underscores AGPC’s sustained commitment to empowering Nigerian youth, advancing local content development, and contributing meaningfully to national socio-economic growth in partnership with NCDMB.
The General Manager of Capacity Building, Mr. Esueme Kikile commended the initiative and encouraged beneficiaries to maximise the opportunity provided.
Kikile, who represented the Executive Secretary of NCDMB, Engr. Felix Omatsola Ogbe urged the graduates to leverage their newly acquired skills and position themselves as active contributors to Nigeria’s development.
At the ceremony, AGPC’s Managing Director, Engr. Effiong Okon reaffirmed the company’s strategic focus on human capital development.
