“… For the Ghanaians/MODEC staff who will have the privilege to go on this training programme I must say that it is not a tea party. It is an opportunity for you to increase your respective individual and also collective capacities on O & M with respect to FPDO operations so that when you are back here, whatever knowledge that you acquired/ whatever was imparted you will be able to also impart to others.” He noted.
He further told the nominees that his outfit will be monitoring the progress of the training as well as theirs so that when their expertise is required, they will be consulted.
“We at the commission will monitor this exercise, and indeed we have a database where on your return we will feed your data into so that in the next foreseeable future; depending on where you find yourself in the industry if such issues come up and we go into that database and find that five or ten years ago you had the benefit of this training from MODEC and so we can pluck you from wherever you are to come and work on others, it will not be out of place.”
