Describe your volunteering experience in November 2019 during the Vocational Skills Acquisition Program in Onne and Ikpokiri?
I see it as a duty I owe my company to ensure the vocational Skills Acquisition Programme is a huge success. I also find deeper happiness ensuring a good initiative of the Sahara Foundation is judiciously utilized to enhance the lives and expectations of the indigenes of our host communities. My first volunteer towards the Sahara Foundation Skills Acquisition Programme was in 2013, also in Onne & Ikpokiri Communities. In the cause of these efforts, I realize a lot of unprivileged Nigerians require such assistance from enabling organizations to improve societal livelihood. Thanks to Sahara Foundation and Sahara Group in general.
