Foundation Trains 93 In Oil, Gas

The Omega Power Ministries Foundation has successfuly trained 93 persons in free oil and gas  in Port Harcourt.

The church which has the slogan ‘Doctor Jesus’, graduated the 93 successful persons out of the 430 persons that enrolled for the programme from different fields; scaffolding, paint making, roustabout, badge making, drilling and tailoring.

The programme according to the General Overseer of the church, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, was to empower their members with the accepted standards so that they can be employed in any reputable organisation and also provide them with basic skills in different areas to be able to provide services for wealth creation.

The graduands according to the co-ordinator of the programme, Mr Sam Manewe, were given a world class standard training that has equipped them and empowered them to face any competition in any part of the world.

The graduands from the tailoring department were provided with diploma certificates and a set of Butterfly sewing machines each.

The drivers were given certificates and promised driver’s license. The remaining four departments, roustabout, badge building, paint making, scaffolding, were all given a certificate.

The duration of the programme according to Mr Sam took one year for tailoring, six months for badge making, six months for paint making, with others ranging from six, three and two months, respectively.

The training, especially that of Roustabout and Scaffolding that cost N200,000 and N150,000 was given to them free of charge according to Apostle Chibuzor.

Speaking to some of the beneficiaries of the free programme, Chijioke Prince, under Badge building expressed happiness at the benevolence of the church.

“I am very happy and grateful to the church and though the journey through the training was challenging. I thank God that I was able to finish and today I am graduating,” Chijioke said.

The only female among the badge building graduands, Essien Blessing, said it was only a starting point for her as there are more areas that she would venture into in the broad field of badge building.

Also graduated were people from OPM Free Allied Products Empowerment Scheme (OFAPES) that involved skill acquisition in the production of perfume, air freshener, soap, rug wash, tile cleaner, bleach making, etc.

They were also promised to be given money to start up business in respect to the skills they have acquired.
