15 get Dangote Academy placement

Fifteen students drawn from the five technical colleges in Lagos State are to undergo an 18-month training under the junior technician scheme at the Dangote Academy in Osogbo.The 15 trainees were the best among 524 from the colleges, who sat for a selection examination recently.Congratulating them, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Technical and Vocational Education Board (LASTVEB), Mr Olawumi Gasper, said the training is a rare opportunity.This is a rare opportunity for you, which you wont appreciate. We put this together for you to go for intensive training in your area of specialisation and any of you might one day become the Managing Director of any of the Dangote Companies like the cement, sugar, refinery etc. There are so many students with first degrees out there, but today, you have that opportunity which will not stop your education because you are almost the first set to go through the German system of education, he said.Gasper, an engineer and former Rector of Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), added that the students would be absorbed automatically into the Dangote Company after the training and urged them to comport themselves well for other students coming behind to enjoy such benefit.As a senior colleague, I am assuring you that you will be employed automatically once you are through with your training at Osogbo and you can be taken to Accra, Angola etc anywhere where we have Dangote Company.I will like to implore you all not to misuse this opportunity for others coming behind to also benefit from it. You are the first batch, and we still have a second batch of 30 and a third batch of 20.Please behave well and form a strong bond so that they can continue to recruit from Lagos State. Im happy you all did well and I believe you will make us proud, he said.The students leader, Paul David, who is going to study Welding and Fabrication said: On behalf of my colleagues, I am saying thank you and we promise to behave well, do as you have advised and make you proud.]]>
