He stressed in his speech that the PTI
Management is ready to do everything possible to achieve the dream of the repositioning exercise as encapsulated
in the working instrument of the Committee to meet the Training needs
of the Petroleum and allied industries.

He added:” Amongst others, our collaborative effort also yielded positive result in the Training of Dive Medics Technicians (DMT) in Underwater Welding and Cutting Operations in our Offshore Technology Centre ( OTEC) which is an attestation to the fact that we can do more if given
the much needed support, he concluded.”
