Nigerian subsidiary of Samsung Heavy Industries, Bradama International, has offered to train and employ 1,000 Niger Delta ex-militants, as part of the company’s way of keying into the Federal Government’s amnesty programme.
Chief Executive Officer of the company, Chief Bibopere Ajube, disclosed this in Ondo while conducting officials of Samsung Industries in inspection of the company’s facilities.
Ajube, who was part of the Niger Delta struggle said: “We were in this struggle together and I was spending every kobo I made to build this facility for my brothers from the creek and because I realised they needed to have livelihoods. So, I built this hostel to help them focus and have what to do with the rest of their lives.”
The ex-militants were mostly trainees at Bradama International, one of the few vocational centres recognized and accredited by the government.
