Feedback from the ship management companies hosting Foundation-sponsored cadets aboard their vessels.
“We celebrate the Foundation’s three years of impactful service and its commitment to nurturing the next generation of engineering talent.”
“We must continue to develop competent Nigerian engineers who can operate, maintain, and improve these systems locally.”
Welcoming the Foundation’s cadets aboard was a proud moment for us. They arrived with their STCW courses and medicals completed, and ready to learn. We are committed to giving them close supervision and real hands-on experience on board, and we look forward to hosting more cadets sponsored by the Foundation.
Gelose Maritime Services Ltd held a flag-off ceremony for Foundation-sponsored cadets starting their sea-service training. Cadets are closely monitored and supervised by qualified officers on board during the 12–15 month placement, including training on high-voltage systems at operational and management levels.
“Your positive impact in the Academia, the Nigerian Society of Engineers, the Institute of Marine Engineers & Naval Architects, Rivers State and Nigeria in general is worthy of commendation and emulation. You are truly a living Icon.”
