The Managing, Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Chief Greg Ogbeifun, made this known when the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the local government, Isaac Ibiberebupakabo, paid him a courtesy call in his office at Onne/Ikpokiri Wharf, Rivers State.
Ogbeifun, who is also the President of Ship Owners Association of Nigeria said the catch-them-young counselling will include ship building, marine welding, ship repairs among others, adding that the exercise would help them focus their destiny on maritime related activities.
He noted that with the counselling, some youths could be captains of ships rather than being deckans, stressing that after the pep-talk, the participants would be taken on excursion to the company to see things for themselves.
The Chief Executive Officer also noted that the counselling would expose the youths to develop interest and attend Nigerian Maritime Academy, Oron, Akwa Ibom State to train as maritime professionals and called on the local government to encourage such career.
Ogbeifun related that he is excited to work with the local government in order to create relationship and rapport and thanked the chairman for the visit.
