    Port Harcourt — The Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project, has announced plans to train the youths of Ogoni in several fields, as part of its livelihoods restoration project and programmes.

    The programmes, according to the Project Cordinator of HYPREP, Dr Ferdinand Giadom,
    will see to the training and preparing of Ogoni youths for the maritime and aviation sector, such as seafarers, aviators, amongst others.

    Speaking in Port Harcourt during an interactive session with Ogoni youths, Giadom assured that the HYPREP would address the livelihood problem of Ogoni youths, while admitting that many Ogoni youths do not have a source of livelihoods as a result of environmental damages in the area.
