EMHCDT CONDUCTS UNANNOUNCED VISIT TO TRAINEES AT AZI MARINE

The Effiat & Mbo Host Communities Development Trust (EMHCDT) today conducted an unannounced monitoring visit to trainees undergoing vocational training at Azi Marine, where they are acquiring specialised skills in Marine and Pipeline Welding, Scaffolding, and other technical fields.

The visit, led by the Trust’s Financial Manager, Mr Etim Unuyu (CNA), was aimed at assessing the trainees’ progress, observing how well they were adapting to their new learning environment, and encouraging them to remain committed to their training.

Upon arrival, the delegation was received by representatives of Azi Marine, who provided an update on the trainees’ progress and overall performance.

Addressing the trainees, Mr Unuyu expressed satisfaction with the positive feedback received from the management of Azi Marine regarding their dedication, discipline, and commitment to learning. He encouraged them to take the opportunity seriously, emphasising that the skills they are acquiring represent an investment in their future and a pathway to greater opportunities. He further reminded them that the Trust’s vision goes beyond empowering individuals; it is also about equipping beneficiaries with the skills and capacity to contribute meaningfully to the development of their respective communities.

The Principal and one of the trainers at Azi Marine also commended the trainees for their enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and seriousness towards both theoretical and practical sessions.

In their response, the trainees expressed profound appreciation to the Effiat & Mbo Host Communities Development Trust and Oriental Energy Resources Limited for making the training opportunity possible. They also applauded Azi Marine for providing a conducive learning environment, quality training facilities, and all the necessary resources and requirements needed to ensure effective learning. They particularly appreciated the management for its continued support and commitment to their development.

Also present during the visit was the Monitoring and Evaluation team from Kingsons Konsult Ltd, led by Mr David Okon, who expressed satisfaction with the progress of the programme, particularly the quality of accommodation and the standard of training provided to the beneficiaries.

The visit further demonstrates EMHCDT’s commitment to not only providing opportunities for empowerment but also ensuring that beneficiaries receive quality training and make the most of the opportunities entrusted to them.

Through strategic partnerships and sustained investment in human capital development, EMHCDT, with the support of Oriental Energy Resources Limited, continues to create pathways for a more skilled, empowered, and self-reliant generation across Effiat and Mbo communities.
