Advising the graduands, Ahmed said he can say bodily to say that the Board is clearly impressed by what Caverton has done to the trainees. “And to the trainees, I want to say that Caverton is an internatio­nal brand. You should be able to sell yourselves to industries internatio­nally and the sky will be your limit,” the manager representi­ng the NCDMB said.

To qualify for the training, Ahmed said “What you need to do is to register on the Board’s Logic JQS portal as a Nigerian. The portal address is www.ncdmb.gov.ng”.

“You have opportunit­y to work anywhere especially in the oil and gas and aviation sectors. We have done our side, NCDMB has done its own side, it is now for you to do your own side. The sky will be the limit as I wish you best of luck ending your training with us,” he said.
