The Managing Director of Midwestern Oil and Gas Company, Mr. Charles Odita, has advised Nigerian youths to utilise every available opportunity to better their lives and to be economically independent especially now that opportunities for white collar jobs were slimmer.
Odita gave the advice during the presentation of starter-packs to 26 youths who successfully completed the two-year skills acquisition training organised as part of the company’s empowerment and corporate responsibility programme, yesterday in Kwale, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State.
He stressed the company's commitment to the development of its host communities through establishment of functional infrastructure and human capacity enhancement and enterprise. Several amenities provided by the indigenous oil and company for the three host communities in the area, including two health centres and blocks of classrooms in several primary schools in the communities, were also commissioned.
The managing director, who also chaired of the starter-pack and merit award ceremony, noted that Midwestern had embarked on the training scheme in order to afford determined but unemployed youths in its host communities “the opportunity to be lifted out of poverty to another level.”
