In a bid to develop the skills sets of the people of Igwuruta in Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State, the Onshore and Offshore Safety Institute, in collaboration with God’s Favour Christian Assembly, is organizing a one week intensive safety training for all residents of the community and its environs.

Lead facilitator of the programme, Safety Chuks made this known in a chat with Kristina Reports recently.

He said, “…the need to raise the bar of employability of the rural dwellers and provide a competitive equilibrium midwifed the programme.”
