Both parties have worked assiduously to ensure that the ex-agitators were given adequate skill acquisition exercise in diving and other related fields in human development and capacity building.

Speaking at during the graduation ceremony in Lagos, Commanding Officer, Under Water Warfare School, Ojo, Captain Osoba Tajudin congratulated the graduates for their successful completion of the diving course.

Managing Director, Mieka Dive Limited, Mr. Pondi Kestin reiterated that completing the course does not automatically translate to success for the trainees adding that discipline, positive attitude and determination on their part will ultimately lead to success in the long run.
In his words of encouragement to the trainees, he said “The experience you have garnered here must be put to good use to enhance your communal and socio-economic life.

“Henceforth, you must be good ambassadors of both the Nigeria Naval and the Mieka Dive Training Institution. The time you give to practicing what you have leant and your continuous exposure to modern diving skills will determine whether you will fail or succeed.
