The chief operating officer of RLG Communications, Mr Taiwo Latilo, explained that the training is all about empowering the youths, and that the first batch from Osun State was a pilot test for all Nigerians to see. He stated that 5,000 people had already completed a six-month training course in Osun State and out of that, 150 would be going to Accra for further training in the Ghana assembly plant.
The COO said when the trainees return and depending on their performance, the company would issue appointment letters and they would work in the assembly plant located in Osun State which is already under construction and up to 85 per cent completed.
Latilo assured that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the company intends to start operations in the plant by the end of June 2013 and some of the trainees would work at the plant assembling phones, TV sets, and computer appliances. He added that “Those who do not get employed at the assembling plant would work as sales, technical and operational staff in Osun and Lagos.”
One of the trainees of the programme and also the best graduating trainee, Mr Akinola Musibau, said he became aware of the programme through an advert on radio by the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme Technology (OYESTECH) which said prospective candidates only needed a minimum of O’ level qualifications and he decided to apply and was shortlisted.
He said “every successful candidate was required to pay N10, 000 acceptance fee and N80, 000 course fee”, but he was only able to pay N30, 000 out of the required N90, 000 due to financial limitations. He is so thankful to God that despite the setbacks, he was still able to emerge the best student in his center and said the media coverage and cash prize would act as a motivation for him to always put in his best in whatever ventures he embarked on.
