MARINE TECHNOLOGY

-

The Niger Delta is an environment with substantial Marine, Naval and Seaport infrastructure. This reality compelled the training of Niger Delta indigenes in the Maritime field to address the issues through development of its native sons and daughters. Also, there was a need for the Niger Delta Youths to fulfill and compete for these high paying jobs in the Maritime industry which are currently going unfulfilled due to lack of adequately trained work force. The presidential Amnesty Office embraced the task to train and empower young men and women from the region in relevant areas like Maritime Seamanship, Under-Water Welding and Diving. Delegates trained in th field were exposed to extensive training in navigating, maintaining and operating a vessel. The core training under a maritime consulting firm, First Adasa Group Limited is IMO Compliant and approved by the United States Coast Guard as well as other IMO White List countries meeting the requirements of the Maritime community.
